> It would be useful to have a tool available that flags possible translation 
> file issues, such as:
> - missing translations for (new) English messages
> - mismatched parameters between English and non-English messages
> - translation of keywords 
> - quoting problems (i.e. use of double quotes when single quotes should be 
> used, use of single quotes when double quotes should be used. This is based 
> on what's described in the MessageFormat api doc)
> - mismatched characters such as < (when meaning smaller than), > (when 
> meaning larger than), % etc.
> - identification of invalid characters, specifically characters in the range 
> of 0x00-0x1f (which are ASCII) and 0x7f-0xff
> Note that such a tool cannot be definite (except about the missing messages) 
> because the English messages are not following very strict formatting, and 
> because what's acceptable syntax/grammar in one language may not work in 
> another. 
> A discussion about a first cut at such a tool can be found at:
