I agree - and the people best qualified to translate the blurbs for a package,
are the translators for that package itself.  Hence my previous suggestion, viz:
encourage all projects to put the blurbs in their .pot templates. That way 
www.gnu.org,
guix and anyone else can take advantage of it.

Not all package maintainers will immediately do that of course,  hence my 
second suggestion - have a secondary source of blurb translations (possibly on 
the womb) 
which can be used if the primary source is absent.  Hopefully, given time, the 
secondary source will become unnecessary.
