Package maintainers
All UI translations for packages from Ubuntu main repository are made available for translations using Launchpad Translations.
Whenewer a package from main is uploaded to Ubuntu, a script will check all it's .po and .pot files and will consider them for inclusion in Launchpad Translation and the language packs.
Because a source package can contain obsolete or testing .po or .pot files, the first time a .pot file is uploaded it must be manualy approved by one of the Ubuntu Translation Coordinators. You can check the import queue here.
Also only .po and .pot files that generate .mo files are considered for being included into the language pack.
Translations for the packages from main repository are updated using the language packs and not by updating the source package.

Resources for maintainers
Language packs
Unlike other distributions we do not ship upstream translations from source packages directly in binary application packages in main and restricted, since this does not allow us any flexibility in editing them on a central place (Launchpad), update them independently from the applications, and update them post release. That is why we separate packages and their translations in Ubuntu and maintain/package them independently.
The complete lifecycle of translations (import, maintenance, export, and language pack structure) is described on TranslationLifecycle.
You can check the latest language packaged (.mo files) from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-langpack/+archive.
You can get the source langauge packs (.po files) from Language packs for Jaunty
