I think this is taken into account by the tool. When versions x was 
already translated and validated, the tool says translations are up to date.
When version x+1 is done, the main language files are reloaded in the 
tool. At this point, the tool will point out:

- all empty translations (new strings)
- all keys that have the main language text that has changed from the 
previous version

The translator can work on these on the online site.

In the online tool approach, the online tool is the master for all 
translations. Nobody shoud work directly on translations bundles.
