[OSM-dev] Improved i18n diff script for railsport translators

[Vitor George]

I'm just arriving in this list but I strongly agree about having a specific
list for i18n issues. there is a lot of work to be done in several fronts
and the information about it is mostly sparse.

For a country where the adoption of English is very low, like Brazil,
translating is a essential thing to grow the number of volunteers.
