I'm no expert on translations but as far as I am aware, for most user
packages, all the translations are built by the build script and shipped
in the primary application package.

If it were any other way we'd all be installing language-specific debian
packages for every application.

No, I was commenting that it looks very unlikely that the package
versions in Ubuntu Karmic for frei0r x264 mlt and ffmpeg would be
up-to-date enough for us not to need to continue maintaining separate
packages ourselves.
It would save us some work if Ubuntu Karmic had very recent versions,
but with the Feature Freeze on Thursday it isn't realistic to expect the
Ubuntu package maintainers to rush to update those packages in the time
available.

The negative is we have to watch the upstream projects and pull in any
security or stability fixes for each package ourselves.
The positive is that the user will benefit from newer functionality in
each library over time.
