It is really for Florian to say, but here are my two cents... 

I know nothing about translation (as I keep saying, I am really not a UI guy!) 
but it seems like this is still a good idea.  Isn't it?

That is the problem.  We really need a volunteer to bring these up to date.  
Also, some clear instructions for developers on the GPE wiki, bringing 
http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/GPEInternationalisation up to date, would be 
useful.  I, for one, have no idea what I am supposed to do when I add more 
strings to an application (beyond making sure I use _(...)).

Unfortunately, I'm not volunteering.  Does anyone have any time to do this?  
How about someone having a go with just one application (gpe-calendar is 
probably the most popular so would be a good starting point)?

In the absence of a volunteer to bring things up to date, the translations are 
effectively mastered in SVN I believe.  At least for the maemo builds it just 
uses the files in SVN.  If there is something else I should be doing (for 
example to get files from translationproject.org) let me know.

A volunteer yet to be found!
