On top of above, a perfect - and open source to that - tool for comparing two folders even with subdirectories is WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/).
In it you can open two files/folders and after the tool runs its comparisons it will show you details on file pairings - if the files are the same, if and how many changes are between them, it even handles renamed files (though I believe only if a suffix is added) etc.
Also, it has its own editor, showing color-coded lines for changes and stuff between two compared files, so you have a complete package, when you couple this with an external editor to edit your translated files in. I use Notepad++, as already mentioned.
Before this I had to have four tabs open in Total Commander and use its own comparison tool (much inferior to WinMerge) with much clicking and moving around in directories. This way I only need WinMerge to compare old and new english original files and Notepad++ to edit my Slovak translations.
Of course I do not believe I am a genious and surely WinMerge is already used by people (or similar utilities like BeyondCompare - which is paid btw), but some of you might not yet do so, so this is for them
