You should translate SGML source file instead of generated RTF file.
SGML sources are available via CVSup or something.

CVSup:

CVSweb:
	http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/


Japanese Documentation project tracks original English version by
explicitly inserting CVS revision number of English into translated
ones.  If English version are updated, we notice by mismatching
revision numbers.  This system can be automated like this:
