For me the alternative is only one, at the present time:

- download the package, translate offline and create a translation memory, then 
upload again the file.
- the next time the file will be updated, you have the old tm ready to be used 
in your CAT tool, so minor changes will be minor headaches for us :)

Choose the CAT tool you prefer, I personally use Lokalize for Interface and 
Help KDE/OOo/Libò files, and OmegaT for other stuff.

I wonder if Launchpad will reintroduce the fuzzy state option (marking the 
string with a percentage of match), very useful in these specific cases.
