We have a Translation Memory server called Amagama giving matches for 
almost all FOSS projects: *office, gnome, KDE, etc.  Those who translate 
offline using Virtaal are already befitting from that.  That is 
integrated into the next iteration of Pootle.

Nice, I also want that.  Not sure it is on our scope though.

We already have a lot of quality checks.  By consistency do you mean 
something like check that I have translated X as Y consistently?  We 
have tools for doing that offline, but online in Pootle :(

I'm not sure how many people use the Terminology suggestion feature of 
Pootle? That helps a lot of teams maintain consistency.

But back to checks.  If you have ideas for reducing false positives, new 
checks, or improving checks then please let us know.  They are not that 
hard to write but even if you can express them in a simple pseudo code 
taking source and target text then we can quite easily implement them.
