Multilanguage

I have a feature request and a question. First, the feature request:

I just spent some time comparing my file to the German translation to catch any new strings. This took some time as I had to copy into a spreadsheet, sort and then go through all the entries. What I actually found was that I have a lot of extra strings that aren't included with the German translation. Maybe that is because my translation was never added (and probably the strings I collected in the beginning of this year weren't either?), or because the strings are no longer used with the new version, or both.

So, I was thinking maybe the developers could set up a Transifex project to help? This would have the following advantages:

• Consistency. There would be one English reference file for all languages. Therefore,
  
• File revisions are easily handled
  
• I think it can even be hooked into the repository
  
• Although I would love a .po file so I can use my translation memory, if developers don't have the time, Transifex can handle the lang files as they are now
  
• Some of the active localizers who are on Transifex might just drop by and help
  
• Searching and filtering for translators
  

Now my question: How can I test my translation in-game? Simply copying the gd.txt to the correct folder doesn't do it. I expect there is a config file somewhere? I'm on Windows 7.
