As Team I have write access to the LLD XG wiki and have updated it:
   http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Main_Page#Reports

The link to the translations db now goes to the Archive.
I've listed in bullets, sorted by date, the ten (10) LLD report  
translations.

I'm happy to shuffle them to your liking. Just let me know. (No need to  
further the thread on w3c-translators in my opinion.)

Please, do not edit the XG LLD reports yourself, not after the Webmaster  
published them.

It is unfortunate indeed, but this is the only case I am aware of that has  
posed issues, which we are fixing.

There is how we had planned to implement the change, and there is the  
decision we eventually took, which we can still revisit.
Our aim was to NOT create false expectations because people would see  
older translations but not newer ones, and that might be confusing.
