Deprecated modules are listes on the subpages of
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyseven/ .

List of deprecated translatable modules that will be killed for GNOME
3.0 & are part of the official GNOME 2.28 module set:
      * libbonobo(ui): used by a variety of applications in 2.28
      * at-spi: used by several applications (Replacement: at-spi2)
      * libgnome: used by Evolution and Tomboy in 2.28
      * libgnomeui:  used by Evolution and gnome-panel in 2.28
      * libgnomecanvas: used by Evolution in 2.28
      * libgnomeprint(ui): not used anymore by any module in 2.28
      * gnome-vfs: not used anymore by any module in 2.28
(For your interest: Unused modules are still shipped in 2.28 as we
guarantee API platform stability for the GNOME 2.x series)

Furthermore,
      * gnome-mag will either get killed for 3.0 (if we can have a
        magnifier in gnome-shell) or will be ported to a D-Bus API
      * gnome-speech might get killed for 3.0 in favor of
        speed-dispatcher
      * gconf *might* get replaced by dconf for 3.0 or 3.2
      * gtkhtml *might* get replaced by WebKit for 3.2

Also I'd give Development tools a lower priority as most developers
speak english anyway.


I have added a "Choosing the last packages to translate" section to
http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/LocalisationGuide .
