This almost looks like an extension of the pofilter checking functions already available in Pootle. Do we really need a separate tool for these tasks?

Subject: Pootle - gettext-lint tools project
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:18:59 +0100

Good afternoon,

There's a company in Portugal (Sapo - part of the local telco)
sponsoring a program like Google's Summer of Code. I'm proposing a
project of a web interface for gettext-lint tools (what I use for
automated QA of the Firefox L10n pt-PT).

This interface would allow a user to upload gettext files and get
several classes of error reports:
* Lack of punctuation, shortcuts, variables and other signs.
* Inconsistencies in translations.
* Spelling errors.
* Disrespect of a pre-defined glossary.

Two use cases of the project would be pootle integration:
1) The report would have a direct link to the translation in each error
so it would be easy to do the correction.
2) A pootle server would have a configuration for this web interface,
and a user could just push a button and would get redirected to the web
interface with a report on the translation.

The project will be done as part of the gettext-lint tools, Mozilla-PT
group and Ubuntu's pt-PT LocoTeam. Do you think you could give me a
contact of a Pootle developer that might be interested in this project
and could answer some questions regarding pootle to the student?

Thanks in advance,
João Miguel Neves
