Yes, you're entirely right. It's always the coordinator for the
affected language who has to approve what translations for that
language can go in. And until the coordinator is officially changed,
the coordinator remains the same.

Of course, Clytie is also right -- in situations like this, it is
probably a very safe bet that the team coordinatorship will somehow
change eventually, and that the new translations will probably be
approved by the new coordinator. As a consequence, you could try to
start translating right away in order to save some time in situations
like this, and if you're not afraid of the theoretical danger of
wasted work.

However, new Esperanto translations must not be *committed* until the
coordinatorship issue has been officially resolved. And there is still
some days left for that.
