Yes, it is a problem and it also seems a little bit of
duplicating contents/efforts. The Debian Web Site has a very
specific way of being built and the translation system has an
established set of procedures, adding "untranslated" texts
from DDTP in it seems out of context at a first glance.

Ok, if we are talking about "colors" and related info,
that can be made with a .data file for all the languages, and
you will only need to commit it (or provide it) in a proper
way. But if it include the description of the translations,
then I think it is more in the line of a new application or
another approach (like links to DDTP).
This seems a new type of problem and I don't think
that the "automatic updates" represent a good solution.
packages.d.o uses DDTP translations, perhaps you need some
sort of "new infrastructure" to provide resources for other
CDDs, in a similar way with what we already discussed for
ddtss.

You also have the translation problem. And AFAIK, the
website uses outside meta data but don't use outside text like
(X)HTML/WML, specially because of the structure of statistics
for translations, the "include" still doesn't seem to fit, it
is probably a "hack" but right now, I wouldn't support its
inclusion. :-(
