As a translator I can't see any benefit in a distributed VCS. We work
with _the_ version with _the_ strings; heck, we have even string
freezes!

Regular translators shouldn't use svn already, because damned lies realy
adds value to the repository (updated message catalogs, alerts,
statistics etc.). But someone must commit the translations, and that
would be the team leaders and a few more translators.

If damned-lies ever learns to commit translations and "translated" and
other stuff, then translators shouldn't have to care about the VCS.
Otherwise, I wouldn't like to have to learn git or bzr.
