Grisu gave some URLs, e.g. you can browse http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/template_unstable/ and look for templates-de.po files within package directories. Joey Hess wrote a script to get translated templates from the ddts, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2003/debian-i18n-200303/msg00014.html > I guess they use the data from the archive?

Since we're certainly loosing a lot of time then. AFAICT it works this way, as does also http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/de Petter Reinholdtsen wrote scripts/gettext-helper, I did not yet use it, but it is definitely worth a try. This script lets you manage all debian-installer PO files (in CVS) within a single PO file. As you can see, there are many different solutions; you can choose your preferred one, but things are simpler if all translators for a given language agree on a unique scheme.
