Comment (by phw):

 I may have run into the same (or a similar) problem while implementing
 #26543. Here's how I could reproduce the issue:
 * Set your "preferred language for displaying pages" in Firefox to, say,
 German.
 * Go to bridges.torproject.org and override the German translation by
 adding `?lang=en` to the URL.
 * Parts of the page will still use the German translation even though
 English translations are available.

 I believe I fixed the issue in commit
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/commit/?id=28a7e8016a8b647bd802cd44994ed245d7fbb163
 28a7e80]. Apparently the `fuzzy` tag prevents BridgeDB's Babel library
 from re-compiling languages that are marked as `fuzzy`. This can result in
 translations not being used even though they are available.

 emmapeel, do you still see the same issue?
