Please don't. The 2 letter code is retrieved via cdebconf, where it can be directly reused in the choose-mirror code. If its translated to english then choose-mirror will need a table to convert it to ISO-639 code, and add bloat. Perhaps comments could be added to the .po files to help the translators. (I'm not sure of a good way of doing it, as the templates.pot file is generated by po-debconf).
