I have both.
1) My private Debian Mirror is has currently arround 63 Source and
218 Binary packages and since I have international user, I like
to offer translated Package Descriptions in german, french,
spanish and maybe turkish, arabic and farsi.
2) Translations are done using pootle (and yes, "pootle" from Etch
is crap and I will install the one from Testing/Unstable since
I have requested an useful feature to which the Maintainer is
positive)

OK, does this mean, I have to put the "i18n/" after the "main/" from
each release or is "i18n/" an placeholder for the LANGUAGE?

To get the (initial) PO files for "pootle" I use the attached script. I
have a new more complex script under development, which use "md5sum" and
versioned "po" files because I have several releases on my mirror.
OK, coding is not big problem for me, even in perl (which I learn since
3 month) but I want to reinvent the wheel. So I like to know, if Debian
has "Ready-To-Use" Scripts which can do this?
I am running MY
http://pootle.debian.tamay-dogan.net/ # cur. not publ. access.
http://devel.debian.tamay-dogan.net/
on the same physical VServer which mean, I can directly update/sync the
"pootle" files with the Descriptions from the Packges.gz.
I asume, that I need "subversion" to do this but ist there a more light
version?
Also I can triger the script if a new Packages.gz was installed.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
