I wrote a tool to make punctuation in gettext translations match the original text [1]. It includes a simple set of rules that cover most common languages, but probably not all. I jumped the gun somewhat and applied it to all languages (except Japanese and Chinese) and it didn't fare so well with everyone [2] for obvious reasons. At any rate, I'm planning to use the tool on the Danish translations and commit those changes tomorrow. The respective maintainers for other languages are hereby encouraged to try out the tool and possibly make changes if it makes sense. Also, I think it's worthwhile to look through the cases where the original text is missing punctuation such that this kind of tool may fare better overall.
