Oh that. I proposed a solution for that but no-one seemed to be
interested. Perhaps you could try using:
http://ddtp.debian.net/ddtss/index.cgi/de/translate/<packagename>
It might be closer to what you want.

This is based on the reason why it as added in the first place. As
long as you don't mind me sending any resulting bugreports to you I
don't really mind one way or the other. It's the translation teams
that are going to complain in the end, not me.
It might be worthwhile reminding people that if they want to do
serious translating to make contact with the translation teams, some
of them how fairly strict procedures as to how to translate stuff.

Well, the translation files lists all the translations for each
package. If you don't particularly care which one you could just pick
one at random.
