Launchpad does something like this. You submit your strings in .pot
format, and when you go to the pages to translate into the respective
languages, if that string appears in any other translation, it will appear as a
suggestion. I don't know how you would get a list of such strings other than to
submit the ones you are interested in, and then open up translations in the
languages you want to see if there are any matches.
