Yes. If you didn't change the meaning, the translation doesn't have to
be changed necessarily. It's sufficient to correct the native (English)
string. gettext() uses a hash of the native string to find the translation
for it and will use the native version if there's none.

I think msgmerge is the right tool but you should have a look at the
complete GNU gettext documentation. It's well structured so you don't
have to read it from beginning to end if you already know a little about it.
Unfortunately, the online documentation is currently down, too.
