[wp-hackers] Non-gettexted string detection tools?

[Nikola Nikolov]

What I feel like you're aiming for is parsing php files and finding any
un-translated strings in there.

The plugin that I regularly use in order to edit/create .po/.mo files -
http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/ - does something
similar, except for it only looks for translated strings. My recommendation
would be to take a look at it's code(more specifically the
"/includes/class.parser.php" file -
http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/codestyling-localization/trunk/includes/class.parser.php
)
and try to adjust it to ignore any strings that have already been
translated and collect the ones that haven't.

I think that code is a good place to start and you can probably do that
with just a simple file in the beginning and then move on to series of
files in a plugin/theme.

Good luck with that and I'd like to know when you get it done :)

Nikola
