Comments on: consistency of translations http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2007/12/08/consistency-of-translations/ i'm not dead yet, but i'm working on it.

This is a big issue for Arabic because nearly none of the computing related terms are settled yet. It helped us immensely in prioritising and identifying strings where conflicts are even less tolerated. [shameless plug]

This might already provide some improvement (by making it impossible to have it inconsistent). We have written poconflicts in the translate toolkit for this purpose of checking for certain types of inconsistencies.
