I wrote a small python script that uses polib to find trivial translation errors, such as inconsistent number of newlines from msgid and msgstr. Here's what I found in build 4347: /opt/thinlinc/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/tl-misc.mo: ERROR: Mismatching number of '\n': - msgid (1): The two new passwords don't match! Please try again! - msgstr (2): De två nya lösenorden stämmer inte överens Prova igen /opt/thinlinc/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/tl-misc.mo: ERROR: Mismatching number of '\n': - msgid (3): You have no grace logins left.

This tool is a bit difficult to use since: a) Most line breaks are added to manually control text width since FLTK doesn't do it for us. And since the translated message might be longer than the English one, the number of line breaks will be more. b) Punctuation rules can differ between languages. So there is a lot of noise to get through. I'll try to fix the obvious ones, and mark a few uncertain ones for review. Then I think we'll have to consider this good enough.
Translations ordered (see bug 5919). Waiting for results to verify.
Fixed now. In tlmisc the only offenders are now the shadowing notifications. Those are manually line wrapped since it is used in FLTK, so that's okay. In tlclient we have many manually wrapped strings, for the same reason. We also have some false positives from parenthesis ending up at the end of the sentence in some translations. Lastly there is some variation in how quotes are used. All of this is okay.
