scrollkeeper:
msgid "Database"
msgstr "Databank"

atk10:
msgid "form"
msgstr "Formular"

gedit:
msgid "Form"
msgstr "Formular"
...

"Formula" isn't translated as "Formular" anywhere.


I use a script to find translated strings in langpacks:

#!/bin/bash
string="^_:"

if [ "$1" != "" ] ; then
    string=$1
fi

for i in /usr/share/locale-langpack/de*/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo
do
    if msgunfmt $i 2> /dev/null | msggrep --msgstr -e "$string"
2>/dev/null | grep "." ; then
        echo $i
        echo
    fi
done
