I understand you are volunteering to review pt_BR translations of
WebKitGTK+, but I don't believe the WebKitGTK+ team will be able to
review e. g. Arabic, French and Nepalese translations. If the WebKitGTK+
team is concerned with PO files being well-formed, it might be better to
have some automatic way to test it; you might consider using Translation
Project, Transifex, Pootle or something like that. Another option would
be having a clone of webkitgtk at git.gnome.org; the GNOME translators
would translate, and the WebKitGTK+ developers would incorporate
regularly the GNOME translations to the official repository. AFAIK
that's what the system-tools-backend team does.
