However with centralized translations there are less synchronization
points (no back incorporation of translations, no waiting for several
languages).

Yes, it's more hard work for the translation maintainer, but it's less
work than sum of little work of all maintainers. So it's more work
efficient in summary. It needn't be more efficient in quality.

Well, so you say Debian is not a working project anymore? I don't agree
but since it's about feelings, we can't conclude on this. :-)
Anyway, IMHO Packages translation is an important issue needed for
moving Debian in next directions. So let's to solve it in some way.
