I did not read carefully before, but even with this format, a Guile
script could turn it into a POT file with multiple entries and another
Guile script could add translations from a PO file into such a news
file.

Yes. The format need not be changed. PO file conversion scripts can
be added later, but should be a goal.

Channels contain packages whose summaries and descriptions need
translations as well, or do I misunderstand? Admittedly, it will take
some time until guix-packages is translated, but it should be a goal.

I do not know what Benno thinks about this. I would prefer this to be
handled by some Translation Project eventually.
