You just need this command:

git diff REL-1_10_0_PATCHES -- docs/en_US

Which gives you 439 lines of changes (many are from binary files). With
this, you easily know changes on the documentation.

Problem is not knowledge on the software. Translating a UI is a complete
different business than translating a documentation. There's not really
a context when you translate a UI, but there is one when you translate a
manual.

text formats. po4a for example.
