Christian, translations for the iso-codes project are managed by The  
Translation Project at the University of MontrÃal.

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/index.html

The German team page is here:

http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=de

and I notice that they have iso-codes pretty much up to date.

You can send your file to any of the translators listed there.

Note: the Debian external PO file listings are not up-to-date. I have  
asked questions about this on debian-i18n, and have not had this  
explained in any way that makes sense to me. The status page for my  
language shows many files as incomplete which are at 100% for the TP,  
Gnome and other projects. So I would recommend checking with a non- 
Debian file's maintainer before updating that file, if it's listed at  
Debian.

Debian's distributed nature means even their own listings aren't up  
to date. I have quite a few translations I'd submitted months and  
months ago, still waiting to be applied. :(  So they still show up as  
incomplete. It's confusing, and discouraging.

The Debian-Installer, however, is well-managed.
