i'm not sure what this would entail, or if it could be automated, but it would be so cool to install this module and see a huge list (maybe multiple pages) of ALL system content included in the drupal core and drupal core modules (not additional modules) - or at least 'major modules' like forum, poll, book, etc...
what i mean is a user clicks through to this module and sees a set of options for 'existing system strings' or 'create new string' - but for existing strings there's a set of clickable groupings: system core (all core system strings), system core modules (forums, polls, book etc)
then a user clicks 'system core modules' and sees pages of parsed strings already prepopulating the left side boxes and can simply scan to the one he/she wants and change "your %page has been created" to "dude, you just made a new %page"
it would make this soooo much easier to use for people who don't get it right away - and this would let people really personalize their drupal installations to a new whole new level, a whole 'nother type of customization made simple through a module! it would be (insert string here)!

okay, let me just add to this: if the process of parsing out all of the strings by running a few 'find' commands on the batch of system files in the drupal tarball can not be automated, then obviously putting together such a list would be quite tedious.
i'd be happy to help out with this and help to organize a large punch list of all areas/core modules to scan and then perhaps a few folks could simply put together text files of 'everything' to combine for the module developer...but only if this request is considered interesting enough.

Gabor is working on the Localization Client module which allows you to dynamically see a bunch of strings on a page that can be translated. It would be great to get this working with String Overrides so that you could just click on a string, and have it added to String Overrides.

It would be great to see this integrated more closely with l10n client module. On a related note, what are the benefits of using this module over adding a custom English language to a site and just translating that through l10n client?

Performance.

I looked into this today. It might make sense to just grab the functions/css/js we need from Localization client and do it ourselves here. Or maybe not. Here are the issues:
So, i think we need to use their UI but ditch the rest. Feedback welcome.

Interesting ideas, Moshe. What if we fooled the Localization Client module with a String Overrides language, and then had an additional tool to move the translations from the locale_sources table over to the String Overrides variable namespace?
