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.

Yes, we have thought of things like that. 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!

Keep well
Friedel
