+# Any (non-English) files are copied between the two repositories if they do not exist. This
+# is to help add new language translations. After copying these files, any keys which were
+# copied where the English string for the key does not match between the two repositories
+# are removed from the destination file (in case of name collisions or the English string
+# not being updated yet).
+
 # If an English string exists in BOTH repositories (both the key and value are identical) and
 # a translation of the string does not exist in ONE repository, the translation is copied.
 
-# If a language translation exists in ONE repository, the translation is copied to the other
-# repository. After copying, any keys which do not appear in the English resource file

+# All keys in translation files which do not exist in the corresponding English file are

 # If the English key exists in both repositories but the value is not identical, the translations
 # are not copied to help ensure there is not a name conflict.
