Yes,
while reading the first input file build an associative array ref keyed by the first field with values from the second one. You should add more control here: I'm assuming that the second field is always present and that it does not contain special (for the shell) characters.
While reading the second input file check if the first 3 characters match any ref key, if yes: checks if a directory with that name already exists, if not creates it. Then prints the current record in a file named as the second input filename in that directory; if not: does the same for the others directory.
Hope this helps.

msgcmp
MSGCMP(1) GNU MSGCMP(1)
NAME
msgcmp - compare message catalog and template
SYNOPSIS
msgcmp [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
DESCRIPTION
Compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings. The def.po file is an existing PO file with
the translations. The ref.pot file is the last created PO file, or a PO Template file (generally created by xgettext). This is useful for
checking that you have translated each and every message in your program. Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to
produce better diagnostics.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
Input file location:
def.po translations
ref.pot
references to the sources
-D, --directory=DIRECTORY
add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
Operation modifiers:
-m, --multi-domain
apply ref.pot to each of the domains in def.po
Input file syntax:
-P, --properties-input
input files are in Java .properties syntax
--stringtable-input
input files are in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings syntax
Informative output:
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-V, --version
output version information and exit
