May I ask what script/command you used for this? :-)

Maybe translators could use the same trick to spellcheck the translations.

@Wuzzy2 as per your suggestion, I used aspell, specifically: aspell -c lang/po/cataclysm-dda.pot. I had one terminal open running that, and a different terminal with the dda source open where I would search for misspelled words, which was usually pretty straightforward since misspelled words tend to be unique. You can probably do the same in .po (or mo? I can't keep them straight) files with the appropriate language dictionary and correct found issues in the same file.

It was not fun, we use massive amounts of jargon, acronyms and "novel" conjugations of words, so the false negative rate for things aspell complained about that weren't issues was massive. If I had to guess I'd say it was something like 500 false negatives per found misspelling.
