I believe this is correct, yes.  Translations are allowed according to
the GFDL, so they don't need any copyright assignment to the FSF.  This
obviously assumes that they otherwise follow the license terms.

The Emacs project requires copyright assignment for any code and
documentation that we ship as a part of Emacs.

I'm copying in Richard as well, in case he has anything to add.
