3.2 Workflow flags
==================

   Workflow flags are flags that can be added or removed by the
translator, by the PO file editor that the translator uses, or by tools
that are part of the workflow.  These flags represent the state of the
entry in the workflow.

   Currently, only one workflow flag is defined:

‘fuzzy’
     This flag can be generated by the ‘msgmerge’ program or it can be
     inserted by the translator herself.  It shows that the ‘msgstr’
     string might not be a correct translation (anymore).  Only the
     translator can judge if the translation requires further
     modification, or is acceptable as is.  Once satisfied with the
     translation, she then removes this ‘fuzzy’ attribute.  The
     ‘msgmerge’ program inserts this when it combined the ‘msgid’ and
     ‘msgstr’ entries after fuzzy search only.  *Note Fuzzy Entries::.
