Sorry for coming into this discussion a bit late.
I'm one of the members
of
Google's translation team, and I wanted to
make myself available for
feedback/questions.
Thank you, you've explained some important things.
There is spell check in Translator Toolkit,
although it's not available
for
all languages. We don't have any punctuation
checks today and I doubt
that
we can release this anytime soon. (If it's
not available in Google Docs
or
Gmail, then it's unlikely that we'll have
it for Translator Toolkit, as
well, since we use the same infrastructure.)
What are supported languages? I see that OOo has some 100 dictionares
(and some are really great).
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
Here's the list of supported languages:

if the Gmail team can use those dictionaries but will pass on the link.

3. We acquire dictionaries on limited licenses
from other parties. In
general, while we can surface this content on our own sites (e.g.,
Google
Translate, Google Dictionary, Google Translator
Toolkit), we don't have
permission to donate that data to other sites.
I see (this is crucial).
How many dictionaries did you acquire? Does this affect also "small"
languages? What about out of print bilingual dictionaries (especially in
"biggest" languages, where there are lots of them)? Do you acquire them
on limited licenses, too, or you try to acquire them completely instead?
The languages for the acquired dictionaries are the one listed in
http://www.google.com/dictionary. This includes monolingual and bilingual
dictionaries. I believe all of them are on limited licenses, although the
specifics vary depending on the deal.
