Well, is this such a big problem? I found:

File: fr.po
2639 translated messages, 206 fuzzy translations, 79 untranslated messages.
found 2 fatal errors

File: fi.po
2437 translated messages, 309 fuzzy translations, 179 untranslated messages.
found 7 fatal errors

File: hu.po
2589 translated messages, 69 fuzzy translations, 267 untranslated messages.
found 36 fatal errors

only three translations. Just mail the translators the relevant entries,
and then remove them. Most likely the errors are "fuzzy" anyway.
