FYI: The Update status D5 contrib module [1] is long overdue for a new 5.x-2.4 official release [2]. I just updated the translation template at the end of the DRUPAL-5--2 branch, and there are a handful of new strings and a few modified strings [3]. Anyone maintaining a translation who wants to get the fixes into CVS before I release, please do so ASAP this week.
Obviously, it'd be better if the translation server was providing contrib translations, we could remove the translations in CVS, and teams could update their translations whenever they wanted (even after a release). Are we there yet? ;) Just curious.
See for yourself :) http://localize.drupal.org/translate/projects/update_status
Basically, the l10n_server expects you to do a pre-release, if you'd want to get the translations ready for release, but this is probably not going to be typical for contrib modules, since translators will be able to translate right as you release (in about at most 30 minutes after the release/tarball is out) and the translation .po files will be available for download at the end of the week latest. (We plan to do translation .po dumps for modules weekly).
So in short, the translation UI and code parsing is all there. The actual dumps and the Drupal client support we plan to have are not in place yet, but we are working on it :) http://drupal.org/project/issues/search?issue_tags=ldodomination
