Well, the thing is I wanted to have something that makes it very easy to see, if something has changed since the last time I translated that file. Watching the svn all the time is not that easy than just looking at a number. There could also be a little helper app that scans all .rc files in my language and all en.rcs for revision differences and shows me, where I have to translate something. Then I can look in the svn what actually has been changed. It just makes things easier for translators.
If someone would want to create a script that checks the last-changed svn revision of .rc files against the corresponding English resource file, I could put that on reactos.org and have it run once or twice a day and put the results on the website.

You could track it using properties on the translated resource files. Tracking it using revision numbers can give false positives (e.g. if you commit a change to the translated resource file that doesn't actually sync it to the latest English resource file). This will also work well with branches (giving merge conflicts in case of conflicting changes). Example:
# svn ci -m "Some change" en.rc Committed revision 123.
(translate r123) # svn propset ros:translate "123" da.rc # svn ci -m "Sync to r123" da.rc Committed revision 124.
