Not necessarily from scratch. The existing GPL'ed translations are effectively "published" ones. Which means they stay licensed as they are. If you re-import them as published uploads, further changes in Launchpad can be "overlaid" as BSD-licensed additions on top of those. You'd have to mix licenses, with the additions covered by both GPL and BSD, but is that a problem?
