I have also experienced inconsistencies and difficult to understand 
texts during translation. However an English - English translation with 
Drupal as translation environment would not work for me. A Drupal 6 
install for testing and my usual  PHP development tools will do. But 
apart from the tools, I like to join forces to improve the usability of 
Drupal texts.
