Well, the thing is I wanted to have something that makes it very easy to 
see, if something has changed since the last time I translated that file.
Watching the svn all the time is not that easy than just looking at a 
number.
There could also be a little helper app that scans all .rc files in my 
language and all en.rcs for revision differences and shows me, where I 
have to translate something.
Then I can look in the svn what actually has been changed.
It just makes things easier for translators.

Greets,
