I think gettext system is good designed for strings updates and if
somebody use cool tool like "poedit" it's simple found changes
and fix updated .po files.
BTW, small suggestion - maybe will good add to your NLS page
information about ispell .po files checking by "pospell" tool
from "spellutils" package.
pospell -n file.po -p ispell -- -d langname %f
