I believe the same rules applies here again. If the work is done via
Rosetta, only this change will be licensed under BSD (unfortunately I
don't know how the final product is "packaged" with these different
licenses yet). Since there's hardly any transfer from Rosetta back to
upstream as far as translations (exception for a few instances when
people manually export from Rosetta and merge back upstream), there's
no "contamination". I'll post back when I find out more info.
