Does anyone know a method to mass delete all fuzzy translations from a PO file. Something like:

if #, fuzzy == TRUE Then SET msgstr="" AND REMOVE #, fuzzy

If gettext is installed you can use the msgattrib command to accomplish this:

msgattrib --clear-fuzzy --empty -o /path/to/output.po /path/to/input.po

The full documentation for msgattrib is here:
