Actually no, the translation is not broken, it simply hasn't  
translated this msgid so far. Please note the marker "fuzzy" in front  
of the translation - any translation marked as "fuzzy" is ignored by  
the rest of the gettext system, just as if it had no msgstr  
translation at all.

No, the translation is not broken, it is simply unfinished and didn't  
translate this msgid so far.

No, the translations are correct (albeit unfinished). Apart from that,  
you and Andreas are right (of course!).
