[bug-gettext] A new option to msgen to make translations no longer identical?

[Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy]

Hi,

I'm thinking of a way to generate a fake translation, so that
developers can try it on the application themselves and see if they
forget to mark some strings. Should we do that? (Or has anybody done
it already?)

While the fake translation must not be identical to original strings,
it should remain intelligible otherwise developers won't know how to
control the applicaton. I'm thinking of changing just the letter case.
For example, "this is an example" may become "tHiS iS aN eXamPle".
Leetspeak [1] may be even better. If a command line app tries to test
if a string is translated, changing  case only may get past "grep -i",
leetspeak won't.
