Please don't reply to me directly.  The list is there for a reason.
Anyway...

There's a translation guide floating around somewhere, probably linked
from the website.  If it's not already in there, please, do submit a
patch with the requested information.

It can mean a couple things.

1.  The previous translator wasn't sure about the translation, and
marked it fuzzy for himself to come back to later.

2.  The original English text in the source file changed slightly, and
'make update-po' marked the translation fuzzy to remind the translator
to check the original again to see if the translation needs to be modified.

It's probably a menu path specification that's fed to GtkIconFactory.
You should maintain the slash as it is.  The source file where this
appears is clearly marked in the .po file; you could have taken a look
to try to figure it out.
