You should translate it if it's not correct or unfuzzy it otherwise. Fuzzy 
strings means it needs review. It could be rough translation or a translation 
that it's msgid got updated.

I strongly recommend leaving acronyms as they are unless there is a popular 
Arabic word for it. So, you say IDE not آي. دي. إي and not بيئة التطوير 
المتكاملة and also not ب. ت. م but for things like laser, radar I would say 
ليزر ورادار. If you still have doubt whether there is a known Arabic word for 
one specific acronym, just ask and we can discuss it.

Happy translation!
