Would be possible.
Debian JP has translated descriptions for bo packages and making use
of them for Japanese version of web pages. There's also an
experimental implementation for localized descriptions called chdesc
(see http://www.bekkoame.or.jp/~kamop/).
BTW, are there any translations for other languages or anyone is
implementing mechanism for localized descriptions for dselect?
