Well, I'm not sure how that solution would help to tell apart the two 
different situations:
1. When a string is being corrected
2. When a string goes, but another string comes.

First is simply a correction of existing string, that means that the 
translations should only review if their old translations are still OK.
Second is when one feature was, e.g., removed from a dialog, but 
entirely different feature is added there. This is something that should 
be definitely translated by teams independently of some text that could 
exist there before.
