Just an idea, maybe the text that goes into the overall html document could be \
separated into little translatable chunks and the larger html (tooltip?) that it gets \
combined into could be concatenated together using code since that part doesn't need \
to be translated?

Jasem,<br> <br>
please stop creating huge translation units as the one at the end of<br>
this message. It's difficult to translate or to spot a change that<br>
you'll make in them in the future.<br>
<br>
Recently it popped up as fuzzy during my translation session, and I<br>
don't know what you've changed there. It could be a text or it could be<br>
html formatting or it could be just a missing space somewhere. In either<br>
case I need to read through all of its 5326 letters to find that out.<br>
That slows down translation considerably.<br>
<br>
I suggest to break such huge units to several smaller ones, and don't<br>
overdo with including too much html formatting tags in them.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Łukasz<br>
