I was working on a project similar like that, ... i don' know much about use of fuzzy logic in lingustics, however i worked a lot on something else - proper formating of the output to be useful out of the box. So few translations are proposed and translator should just choose the apropriate one, not needing to change it (capital letters, acronyms, separators and stuff like that are handled quite nice) check out http://www.lugos.si/~minmax under web interface, feed it with a fresh non-translated pot file (pot file that wasnt translated to slovenian yet) to see what it produces... at the end of output there is a statistics... it ussualy pre-translates 15-40% of the pot file... It has a database for slovenian language currently loaded (60k translated messages from both KDE and GNOME) click smart it and wait a few minutes (it is quite slow) Have a nice day Andraž Tori
