Hi,
What I do as a member of Ubuntu Dutch Translators is this:
Download versions precise e1 and precise e2 from Launchpad
Merge these files with the command msgmerge
Open the merged file in Lokalize (or poedit if you like).
Here you see all the strings that have changed as fuzzies. You can make 
changes to the translation, then copy and paste these strings to LP 
version e2.
