Yes, exactly. Under the light of recent changes[1] in debconf (which faces similar problems with its template translations) this could be solved by "compiling" the different translations into .mo style (or similar) files, one for each document, containing all translations of metadata and all pointers to the different translations. The now-uploaded[2] po-debconf seems to be not yet available, but should be worth a look.
