Search for fuzzy translations

October 02, 2026 — BarryK

In EasyOS, language translations may be found as ".mo" files, in path /usr/share/locale

It is possible that these mo files may contain translations that are incorrect for some reason, and are marked as "fuzzy". Forum member don570 has created a script to find fuzzy translations:

I have incorporated this into EasyOS, builtin.

don570 has warned that searching for "fuzzy" may be misleading, as it may be an actual genuine word in the .po/.mo file. An example is the Gimp paint application.
