I just recently had to do the same thing. I found a great tool called
Attesoro, which does exactly what you want: http://attesoro.org/

It loads up the "main" bundle and is aware of existing translations. It
shows you the keys from the main bundle and which ones have no
translation in the target locale. It even handles all of the
native2ascii-type stuff so you basically just save your text and your
properties files are ready to go.

The only problems are that it alphabetizes the message keys which is
unfortunate, but would take a bunch of work to put them in the same
order as the original, and it also ignores comments in the original
bundle, so you can't see them. I like to keep my main properties file
open in a text editor next to this so I can do things in a little more
methodical way.

On a somewhat related note, I use ant to build my webapps. Be careful
when using ant to copy properties files while filtering. If you don't
set the character encoding to ISO-8859-1, you can corrupt any odd
characters in your properties files (including simple stuff like
accented vowels in the ASCII and various Latin character sets).
