In my opinion I don't think that's a good idea, especially if the new
translation would benefit all wikis. Wait for the translation system to be
back on track is the wisest decision to take. That would avoid to update
the central repository after all, or, more realistically, forget to update
the central repository (I had a couple of cases like that recently).
