Yeah, the results are clunky.

The resulting data looks like a unified diff, and it should be reasonably easy to hand-edit to improve.
I've attached some example output.

No, I've just been grepping for collections of letters that are common in german, but uncommon in english.

As I said, I have some experience in doing this - I find it easier to make a first-pass translation of my applications
myself, and then let the experts fine-tune it.
