Run etc-update as root. It will automatically scan the updated configuration files and does the diffing for you. Most of your changed config files are probably translations and such, which you can safely update (replace original). Note: If etc-update crashes on some config file (happened to me), just rerun etc-update and continue with the next file. The crashed file should work when there're no other config files left. And you can allways manually update them.
