Looking at the statistics[1], I see The first DDTP translation effort started years ago (over 4, actually) and it was quite serious at the time for some languages.

This is very much related to the fact that the language teams see no gain for translating the DDTP right now since end-users would not be able to see them, as there is no support in apt or its frontends. A change in apt to make those visible when users run 'apt-cache search|show' even if apt frontends (aptitude, synaptic) do not use them yet would certainly make translation teams shift their efforts over to the DDTP. Just my 2c. Javier
