No, because POs and .(i)telys translation work very differently;
check-translation don't modify any file and is used for one language at
once, whereas po-update modify files for all languages.

Not really.  There are two related but different features: support for
printing non-English quotes, which has been implemented, and using the
right quotes according to @documentlanguage in output of @-commands,
which has not.
