The ideal place for that script would be at the Translation Project when
it accepts translations from translators. From the translator's
perspective, that avoids a long delay before there's any feedback (by
which time they're probably translating other software); from the GCC
perspective, right before a new release when the RM has just checked
updated translations in to the branch is the worst possible time for bad
translations to break bootstrap.
