it is the only solution to enable updates from TER and have your own labels.
otherwise you disable any extension-update, as a newer version may 
introduce new labels which are not included in your modified old 
locallang file.

in earlier days all the translations were in one locallang file within 
the extension (very early as PHP, now in XML)
As more and more extensions got multiple translations, these files get 
bigger and bigger and the working needs lots of space for languages 
never used in single instances. So the individual locallang-files were 
invented for other languages than default as default (= en) still is 
included in the extension itself.

but it stays: these files belong to an extension and should be modified 
only to support the extension-author/TER with new or corrected locallang 
files.
