I think it would be excellent if you could provide such feedback via
bugzilla.gnome.org. We've set up the language components in the l10n
product exactly for this purpose; to allow for a unified and coherent
way of entering translation bugs, regardless of language. As all
language groups are supposed to deal with any bugs for their language
that may get submitted through bugzilla.gnome.org, I see no problem at
all with this approach.
