Whoever is interested, may download from:
http://www.bononiadocta.it/Lazarus/pohelper.zip
the version 0.1 of PoHelper, a tool I've developed to help me in
translation maintenance.
I've put there the features I felt necessary for routine translation
work, which were not avialable elsewhere.
It provides:
A quick verification of the state of all translations (Translated,
Untranslated, Fuzzy and format argument errors). Items with format
argument errors are marked as Fuzzy.
A graphical representation of all the translations requiring
maintenance, for a given language, in a given directory tree.
Missing translations are represented with a yellow full pie, others are
represented with a pie partitioned for translated/untranslated/fuzzy
entries and a question mark for format argument errors (the same as
PoChecker new graphical display, available in trunk).
Optionally all translations can be seen (including those 100%
translated), or missing translations can be hidden.
Opening a translation (by clicking on it) with a choice of two
configurable external editors (left-click/right-click). I use both
Virtaal and Poedit, depending on needs, so I made it that way.
Creating a new empty translation from template, for missing
translations, and then opening it in the selected editor.
Performing a clean-up of translations, by removing PreviousId from
non-Fuzzy items, and then saving all the translations which have been
somehow modified in the session (added/removed Fuzzy flags, removed
PreviousId, etc).
A few more things to come.
It should be complementary to PoChecker as it doesn't provide all the
statistics and more exhaustive tests of PoChecker, but does provide
utilities which are outside the scope of PoChecker.
The human interface should be self-explaining. If not, just ask.
If found useful, it could be added to Lazarus Tools, or to Lazarus
Components (it could be integrated in the IDE). If not, I'll just keep
it for myself.
I'll be thankful to whoever will test it and report bugs, suggest
improvements, or asks for useful features.

Project planning question: when it's 90% done, are we halfway or not yet?
