I don't speak for the binutils maintainers, but it seems to me that
doing translations in any way other than through the translation
project would simply lead to confusion.  I see clear disadvantages,
and I see no advantages at all.  So if you think this is a good idea,
I think you need to explain why.

Or, are you asking whether you can do your own translations for your
own private distributions of the binutils?  If that is the question,
the answer is, sure, you can do that, as long as you comply with the
GPL.

I have to admit that I don't understand the question.
