Indic-computing ( indic-computing.sf.net ) group is ideal, but its prime 
focus is not on translations  so I would prefer 
 indlinux.org/hindi/gnome/  .   Already considerable progress has been 
made. We would be acheiving  near 100% for Gnome 2 core by Oct end. This 
week few more volunteers are joining in & will start working on fifth 
toe pots. Aim is to have Gnome 2 fully translated by  2.2 release date.

Solution to it is using PO compendium. We are now reusing lot of own 
translations, with abt 6000 strings & gnome glossary as base, its easier 
to update and also for new translators who need not start from scratch. 
 Any further discussion on this issue please take in on Hindi list
