Yes; however, the DDTP did not live up to its promise. Having a completely unreadable and unnavigatable website which makes the life of package maintainers seeking to include the work posted there in their packages, the DDTP was not as successful as it could have been. The result was that those translations started to rot in the DDTP; given that the point of the DDTP was to avoid translation bit rot from happening, most translation teams stopped using the DDTP and started filing bugs again. While I understand the reasons for why this has happened (at least, I hope I do :-) ), I still find this an unfortunate situation. Perhaps it would be nice if the problematic parts of the DDTP could be addressed, so that it could work as intended again.
