At least, one translation already exists.  And the translator as a team
member has the right to see it added to the repository as long as
nothing better exists.

At least, add the files as ...@unofficial, please.

allowed to add such language files.

We are just human beings and let's act as those.  Gnome is about
software and freedom, it is not about stabilizing any arbitrary
political system.  I know in real life compromises are often necessary,
though.
