On the subject of communication with Ubuntu translators, the main point
of contact is the ubuntu-translators mailing list, where all team
coordinators are required to be subscribed. These team leads then take
care of forwarding any relevant communication to their local translation
mailing lists. But it's not only the team coordinators, many Ubuntu
translators are subscribed to the list.

So you can use that for announcements. For other purposes, e.g. if there
are bugs affecting a particular language, you can simply assign the bug
to the particular language team in Launchpad (they're all here:
https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators) and all
members will be notified.
