How can I find missing Global Resource records?

Question
I have 3 Global resource files:
WebResources.resx
WebResources.resx.es
WebResources.resx.it
When making changes to my application, I always add the default global resource records (English) to the WebResources.resx
file. However, I don't always have the Spanish and Italian versions at the time, so these need to be added at a later stage.
My project manager has suggested that whenever adding a record into the WebResources.resx
file, then a blank record should be added into the .es
and .it
versions. Then when it comes to finding out which records need a translation, we can order by the value and see a list of the blanks.
I like the fall-back of using Global Resources, that if there is not a record in the specified resource file, then the default record is returned. By adding a blank record this is preventing the fall back.
Is there a better way of finding out what records are missing from the .es
and .it
resource files?
