Maybe i'm a corner case, but for me its easier to start from the
beginning (after maybe reading the fuzzy translation, to have some idea
how it was translated before) than to try to fix the existing
translation. Mhm, actually, if i think about it, it depends- if its only
a word thats removed, i'll take the old string, if its something more
complex i'll rather do a new translation. So, you're right ;)
(For me the harder part of fuzzy strings is to find out what changed)
