Hoi,
The advantage of deleting the messages that are the same in
translatewiki.net (formerly Betawiki) and the local messages is that when a
message CHANGES, a change made at translatewiki.net will have an effect on
your local system as well. It is for this reason that it is a good idea to
have as few messages possible that are created locally. The messages that
you want to have locally should contain information that is specific to your
project that means are specific to the Japanese Wikipedia.
Thanks,
GerardM
