Do you want to have a Debian Mirror with support for translated Package
Descriptions (i.e. users can download translations of the Package
Descriptions), or do you want to have a server where translators can login
and translate Package Descriptions?

For the first, you just have to mirror the
/debian/dists/unstable/main/i18n/ directory on your preferred server.

The second is not supported, and I don't think it should be encouraged
unless synchronization of translation server get implemented.
