Description

The .po files created make-messages.py by contain flags which prevent i18n from working properly.

Example:

#: models/test.py:18
#, fuzzy
msgid "test"
msgstr "somethingelse"

In this case _('test') wouldn't get translated. Removing '#, fuzzy' fixes the problem.

Nope, that will work as expected - it will translate correctly. But fuzzy shouldn't stay in the .po files - translators should change that and replace the fuzzy translation by the exact translation. This is standard gettext behaviour and stuff, not a bug.
