Here i was wrong, texts.list.txt exist. Dunno how i missed it.. have to say 
that i was really tired :(
Also translation is clearly described as a import from texts.en.txt to 
texts.LANGCODE.txt. I didn't read wiki good.

Other questions are still valid for me.

Just started the IT file from scratch from texts.list.txt, having opened tabs 
with old italian translation and new english for reference.

I just found a trick to mark doubted entries: 
i'm working on a texts.it.txt.draft file. When one entry is not sure i add a 
second line with comment "//check", like:
[briefing]
Missione
//check
When file will be done i will just type this into a unix shell
cat texts.it.txt.draft |grep -v "//check" > texts.it.txt
to get a proper translation file. This "source" lang file is what 2 translators 
can share to get work done efficiently, keepin track of what to check later 
with 
screenshot tool (have still to check how does it work) or what to first 
evaluate from mate's work.
Not pr0.. but simple ^_^
