Sure it can help.

The problem I see is this: if I translate something on Launchpad, and
somebody else submit a translation for the same language of mine
through the project mailing list and directly to SVN, we are
duplicating the effort, and usually upstream translations have the
precedence when imported in Launchpad. But what will happen of
translations done in Launchpad exported to SVN? Which one will take
precedence?

So, will Launchpad be the only way to translate Enlightenment in the future?

As it is now, that you can translate in Launchpad and submit
translations via the project mailing list, there could be confusion
among translators (lack of coordination) and also developers...
