Well, i don't think that the authors see the pot-files :)
dunno if it is possible to run a spell checker on the sources itself, or 
perhaps a script that could run through kde-i18n/templates and post a summary 
of typos to some mailinglist..

On the other hand, the strings are read by at least 10 translation teams 
(considering that our top 10 on the stats page have a near 100% translated 
kde 3.4), so typo's could have been seen and reported earlier..

I think we need a less black&white freeze.
For example:

lets say that the freeze 2 weeks, then the first week is open for fixing 
typo's, the second week only after aprovement of the translators, and 3 days 
before total freeze, no fixing of typo's are possible.
