Update policy for message catalog

Hello Irene, others,

When trying to work on a Japanese translation, we have found that
between e.g. 9.5 and 9.55, there are quite some differences in the
message catalog files. In these files, each item has a number,
but between verions, the numbers change, some items get added
(mostly at the end, but not necesarily, it seems) and some items
get deleted (rather than leaving a number blank, the next items
are moved down).

Can you tell me exactly what the update policy is for these
catalogs? To be concrete, how can we transfer some primary
translations made for 9.5 to 9.55 without messing things up?
Is there a list of corresponding numbers, or a program that
does the conversion somewhere?

Many thanks in advance,    Martin.
