It should work as you expect if *both* files, gnome-panel.po and 
gnome-panel.HEAD.pot have an msgid called "System". It has to be exactly 
the same. If they do not, you get fuzzy or commented.
To verify that you do everything ok, make backup copies of both files 
and edit them, so that you erase all strings apart from the msgid 
"System" ones.
You can try to update them with msgmerge and observe what happens.
You might have put some strange diacritic (do those exist in Georgian?) 
in the msgid that is not visible, but is there.
If you do no simplify your setup by creating minimal files and trying 
out, it's difficult to figure out what's wrong.
