Certainly.  Some questions:

Do we _always_ want to only check the msgstr values, or does it make
sense to check the English text as well?

I would prefer to have this automatic based on major or minor mode.  I
didn't locate any po-mode library...  can you send that to me to help
testing?

In my short evaluation, the following regexp seems to be an
improvement:

("^msgid" . "^msgstr")

replaced by:

("^\\(#~ \\)?msgid" . "^\\(#~ \\)?msgstr")
