I don't understand the first thing you described, about something build and translate svg. But "the SVG screenshots program" caught my attention. What is that?
It's a way of taking a screenshot, where instead of getting a png with a flat canvas of pixels, you get an svg, with boxes and text where they appeared on the screen.
It only works for Gtk3 apps, so inskcape 0.91, gimp, anything written for Qt, windows programs and Firefox all wouldn't work. (although there are browser screenshot programs for that)
I suspect that such a venture would be fraught with niggles like menus, spacing, default icon themes and so on. So I put it on the back burner. But an interesting idea if anyone else is excited by it.
