That was my gut reaction too. However, I know nothing about how this pans out, being a native english speaker... still, it might be worthwhile to push some of it to community and allow actual speakers of said language to maintain them, so that we aren't maintaining packages no one uses (like german, we have no german users at all, heh).
Maybe we should make a poll or something on what languages our user speak and which localized packages are actually required. Most packages provide gettext localizations, but some (kde, koffice, openoffice, firefox, thunderbird, ...) need extra packages. If you want, I could put a small poll script together (that is, if I can get access to mysql).
