In my opinion, '--use-fuzzy' may be redundant i.e.

  msgfmt --statistics [-c] -o /dev/null $lang

will just output required statistics.

I believe there's no longer such errors emitted by '-c' option,
the reason I had been fixing them was that such bunch of non-fatal
errors will hide the actual fatal errors (i.e. imagine if msgstr has
'%s' while msgid has '%d' but it was hard to notice in the tons of
errors, it was important to fix albeit there was only 1 of 100 error).

PS. How about Orage (orage), instead of xfcalendar? but considering
that repository name is still as-is, that might be up to Graf, Auke.
Also ku will be Kurdish (ku).
