Couple of options: 1) The translator keeps a copy of the english messages.properties (either directly or through an svn version number) and performs a diff of the orignal and the new file when they want to translate. 2) Just for added messages, one can write a simple Java program that shows which messages exist in the english file but not in the translated file. This is easy because the message files are properties files, thus they can easily be loaded as properties objects and compared. Dan.
