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).

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?
