Which templates are you talking of?
If you ask for debconf templates, the very best is using the i18n
pages as status pages and for grabbing sources files, then translate
the po file to your language, then send a BR with the translated file
attached.....then wait for the maintainer.... :-)
I do not recommend using the DDTP for debconf templates, for the exact
reasons Martin Quison mentioned earlier in this thread.
You just need to coordinate with your own language team (polish for
you, I guess). Translating alone is not enough. A good proofreading is
also very important for the quality of the work.
The status pages I mentioned above :
http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/
for debconf templates using the new format (with po files)
http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/templates/
for old-style debconf templates (slowly vanishing)
