It's a reviewer's job. That's why we ask that every team includes at  
least a translator and a reviewer.
Before you build your final translated package (or export the complete  
l10n), you can check by yourself by opening all the .nib files.
Strings in "Localizable.strings" files do show up in the UI, which is  
built upon the .nib files content.
There are certain situations where you can't see the strings in the  
nib, because they appear in UI elements provided by the OS or by other  
frameworks (like sheets for Javascript messages, error pages provided  
by Gecko), but usually those situations require little adjusting  
because context will adjust to fit content.

Ciao.
Marcello.
