keep track of changed text strings.

Two columns in the Language Strings dialog box help you keep track of changed,
exported, and imported strings: the Changed column and the Exported column. Both
columns should contain No when you are ready to compile a translated installation.
When you do this
Add or change a text string
Export strings

The same stages apply when you add or change files or directories, if you export file and
directory names for translation. If you do not export file and directory names, then the
entry in the Changed column remains Yes.
