Kaider is used for translation of PO files. But those typos have to be fixed 
in the programs source code. So we cannot use Kaider for this task.

You'd need to find someone to fix the sourcecode or you have to do it yourself 
and commit it to SVN, if you don't want to write a bug report.

When I find a typo I usually fix it in the source and commit it - it's a quick 
and good solution for small typos. If you encounter a bigger error you should 
contact the programmer to make him aware of it and prevent further errors.
