Since those packages are no longer part of standard Ubuntu, they have 
been moved from main to universe, and the translation templates have 
been dropped from Launchpad (as you have already noticed). If I 
understand it correctly, it means that the .mo files will be built from 
the .po files present in the source of respective package and end up in 
/usr/share/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES next time respective package is 
uploaded.

There is a community effort to keep Unity alive going forward, and I 
don't know if they have established some new translation interface or if 
they expect translators to simply provide updated .po files via bug 
reports or maybe as merge proposals here:

I sent a copy of this message to Khurshid Alam, who is a driving member 
of the ~unity7maintainers LP team. Hopefully he can tell more.
