You're wrong here :) The "structure" is not changed: packages descriptions are automatically fetched from DDTP (using Translation-<lang> files, not overloading their server), and the only thing to translate might be the few initial lines.

Do you have any sample of this? Currently the script I made does this: parse the tasks, get official / unofficial / unavailable packages, put them in tables, and put them in directory/<taskname> (which are XHTML pages, at the end). We can also change the naming scheme, because I've noticed that, for instance, "bio" and "bio-dev" get two different pages. We could add a new tag to the task files, such as "Page:", and use that as output filename. Suggestions / flames are welcome. Kindly (and Merry Christmas), David -- . ''`.
