not really.
a) we make a only one way combination. (web -> db) (with this the
spanish user can use the spanish apt source lines.)
b) hack:
1.) I include alle finish translation on auric. with this the server
don't send this description a second time to the translators.
2.) The server choose a description on a randon base, if we have a lot
untranslated description, the problem is very little.
c) The right way:
We write a own web interface.

ask admin on auric/gluck/master/... to make a exception in
/etc/apache/access.conf
