Not really.  You need to rely on hearing about it somewhere so far.
There are a couple of more modules, all on Translation Project: 

  gst-plugins
  gstreamer
  iso3166_1
  iso639_1
  scrollkeeper
  shared-mime-info
  xkeyboard-config (that's on TP which you are a member of, Clytie :)

I am probably missing something, but this is off the top of my head.
Note that most are not very visible, but some actually are:
xkeyboard-config shows up in keyboard layout chooser, shared-mime-info
is used for file descriptions in nautilus, iso* modules are used in
language chooser in Epiphany, and the rest are really pretty hidden.

Press "enter" for empty password?

Yeah, just translate it.  But since you're used to TP, you may want to
pick it up there as xkeyboard-config module.  It goes to Sergey as
well when you submit it there, and I'll work on convincing him to do
another release with translations if we get enough of them :)

Just use TP.  Latest version there is 0.6 if I am not mistaken:

  http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/domain-xkeyboard-config.html

Good news for you Clytie is that it's already almost translated:

vi 0.6  	Phan Vinh Thinh  	381 / 413

It's common to have blank password for "anonymous" accounts.

When you do a full checkout, you may do the trick other Gnome
translators commonly do: run "intltool-update vi" once inside
xkbdesc/po/ directory: that will always give you an updated PO file
(that's what our status pages do for you).  Of course, this would
require you to have intltool installed, and I don't know if it works
on MacOS/X.
