You can subscribe to a language (or a language-section combination) and get per Mail one (or more) random untranslated descriptions. If you have send one (or more) translated descrition back to the system, you get new untranslated descrition ... The system know the translator (the From-line in the Mail) and can send the translated description again to the translator, if the english description has changed. We can add this with a web interface. But I (personally) don't like web interfaces.

I know this. This will work. With we little pacht, APT download a Packages-LANG file instead a Package file.
