The Italian dictionaries are far from complete; I sometimes use the spelling 
checker in kbabel, but it's quite labor intensive, since so many words need 
manual checking, at least until I build a complete enough "private" 
dictionary. But I'd like to add dictionary based spelling check to the 
script. Any help would be welcome :)

Furthermore, there are checks aspell would not catch, like extra spaces 
before/behind commas, or the consistent use of certain translations for 
certain words.

You can use the message template files. The templates/messages directory 
contains all the program messages (with pointers to the relevant code 
source/line).
