The purpose of adding the English entries to the JA resource file is
so that a translator (i.e. someone interested in keeping the Japanese
translation up to date, in this case) will see the new untranslated
English entries and know exactly which messages need new translations.
(It does nothing to help identify existing messages that have changed,
though - that's a harder problem that needs more supporting
infrastructure.)

Anyway, that was just a suggestion. It would really be better to hear
from people who are interested in doing translations on how they would
prefer to track changes.
