We discussed something like this for the new installer, making it possible to update/add translations independent of the "real" packages. For this to work, one need to be able to add translations to the debconf database. The bug report asking for this to be implemented in cdebconf is <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/212921>. It would have to be added to debconf as well to be an option for the installed system. I believe it is a good idea to keep the translations independend from the real packages.
