Specifically I don't know if it has some kind of access to BTS, but let's try. One of the most irritating situations for a translator (at least for me) is when package maintainer marks a translation bug closed but forgets to add the po file to the package. Could there be lintian warning if all the following requirements are met: 1. Changelog proclaims a bug closed 2. The bug is marked with tags l10n and patch 3. There's a po file attached to the bug report 4. This po file is not in the package's po directory If the actual contents of the po file would be checked, this might also catch some formatting errors caused by different encodings. Hmm, just now I realized that there can be situations where for example it is not the original po file which should be used but some other (updated) version from some later mail. Then this process could fail. Well, maybe someone comes up with better checking system... :-) Cheers, Edu
