Strings are prefilled by msgmerge with closely matching ones to reduce the amount of labor required by the translator. Often the string requires only minor adjustment, making the process faster, and when the string isn't a good match it's no big deal. However, these so-called fuzzy strings shouldn't be treated as if they were actually translated.

Fixes the effect seen in #5806.

Before/after

Note how the somewhat similar strings "book status" and "next chapter" are fuzzy matches for the new strings "book title" and "current chapter."
