Grisu gave some URLs, e.g. you can browse
http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/template_unstable/
and look for templates-de.po files within package directories.
Joey Hess wrote a script to get translated templates from the ddts, see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2003/debian-i18n-200303/msg00014.html

AFAICT it works this way, as does also
http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/de
Petter Reinholdtsen wrote scripts/gettext-helper, I did not yet use it,
but it is definitely worth a try. This script lets you manage all
debian-installer PO files (in CVS) within a single PO file.
As you can see, there are many different solutions; you can choose your
preferred one, but things are simpler if all translators for a given
language agree on a unique scheme.
