Hi Xavier Yes, sometimes somebody with translate rights might not have reviewed the suggestions, and I think it can be useful to provide the existing suggestions under "related" in the sidebar. This will be especially useful in the case where the suggestions can't be accepted exactly as they were provided. The current suggestions feature works extremely well as a way of reporting bugs and for casual contributors, but if there are lots of people suggesting and few people reviewing them, it might cause a bottleneck / unnecessary duplication. > On a more twisted vein, has anybody thought of 'negations'?

It should be fairly easy to implement such a pofilter test. For a list of the current tests, see this page on the wiki: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pofilter_tests Integrating such a test into Pootle is however a bit more difficult, since the words has to be supplied in some form, and we don't yet have anything for providing / using such types of information (except for terminology, but that is not implemented with pofilter). The same issue exists for pofilter tests like "musttranslate" and "donttranslate". So to implement this for use on the command line with pofilter should be easy, but perhaps such integration in Pootle won't happen very soon. With that said, I think it is something we will probably work on in future at some stage. It will indeed be very useful!
