I think that it will work as it is working nowadays. If I found a bug, I check if it has been already reported. Sometimes it is, and I do not make a new report. Sometimes the reporter doesn't see the bug wasa already reported. This is why we have duplicates now. This is why we will ever have duplicates.

This may be a good point: do you mean that who is translating the debconf templates and/or the upstream program, should receive all non english report and translate it to english? May this be a new email address like submit-<LANG>@bugs.debian.org? What happen if/when the translator doesn't reply? Should this report be published somewhere even before any reply or translation?
