On is for the strings in use on WordPress.com and one if for the  
strings in WordPress core.

WordPress.com will have a larger set of strings to include the  
differences in provided features - custom css, file quotas etc.

I think the best place for advise in the wp-polyglots list - I'm sure  
you will get good help there.

cy.wordpress.org language site up as well to allow people to download  
a pre-built package and to be able to upgrade to the new Welsh release  
as new releases become available.
