We discussed that in council, and concluded that separate repositories would have two main benefits:
1) make the translations easier to maintain - one primary person for each of them, rather than having an army of maintainers for a single repository.
2) the repositories can be individually brought in sync with new framework releases, rather than holding up a translations "package" for a small number of translations that were not complete.
We may have to revisit this, but it makes sense for now.
I anticipate a few dozen translations, for the most popular languages.
