Spent some time improving the script; it now detects the following:

- Missing "/Choose language" [Languages affected: hi, km, ku, se, th]

- Select choices: the string is a set of items separated by commas "," and the number of
  items in the msgid has to be the same in the msgstr. Errors here have a bad effect on the
  installer which fails to work properly [Languages affected: ar, bs, dz, el, is, kk, km, pa, ta]

- Make sure strings wich need to be shorter than 65 character do not exceed that limit
  [Languages affected: bn, lt, wo]. Languages supported by g-i only can actually exceed
  that limit: I'll make sure no errors are reported for such languages asap.

See the "Specific checks" column at:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/spellcheck/level1/index.html

I notice there are wrong variables for the following languages:
ar,dz,eo,fa,hr,hu,kk,ko,ku,lv,pa,ta,wo

there could be false positives.

dz and ta translators need to fix the particular variable "${KBD-ARCHS}" which has to be
"${KBD-ARCHS-L10N}" in the msgstr: N.B. "L10N" is "capital L / ten / capital N" and not 
"capital L / 1 / capital on"

In the near future automatic email will be sent to translation teams every time a new
error is found.

If anything were not clear, do not hesitate to ask.
regards,
Davide
