So, based on whatever behavior you are seeing, it is possible there is a problem
with i) the PO file, ii) the toolchain, or iii) our process of going from
about-fedora module in CVS to the build fedora-release-notes.  Are you seeing
*any* German in "About Fedora"?

In reference to the high levels of fuzziness, what you have discovered is this:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2007-April/msg00065.html

Looking inside the de.po file, what I see is:

grep msgstr po/de.po | wc -l
700
grep msgstr po/de.po | grep "\"\"" | wc -l
428

That is, 61% of msgstr are empty.

I also don't see any translation activity in the last few months for that PO
file[1].  Although the situation with 'xml2po -e' v. 'xml2po -k' was not very
pretty, we were very vocal with the change, the follow on discussion, begging of
forgiveness, and pleading to update PO files.  With all of that, there haven't
been any changes from a German translator.  Yes, this is all happening in a
different CVS than for FC6.  We have also been very vocal about that situation.
