It is a waste of translators' time to translate the SecurePoll admin interface to dozens of languages, which is what most of the voting-related translation requests (including this one) are about. Only a handful of people have access to that interface, and it is quite unlikely that any one of them doesn't understand English. It would be nice if the voter and admin interface of SecurePolls could be split into separate translation groups.
Usually I'd agree with you, except that we're translating the MediaWiki extension on betawiki so that it can be used on all MediaWiki installations. I'm sure there's a Hungarian wiki (for example the Hungarian chapter) out there that might want to use this extension, and just imagine how happy they'd be when they realize it's already been translated by a nice person!
That being said, we might want to provide this option. I'm CCing Siebrand so he can tell us if this is an option.
