I think this depends on the copyright laws of your country, and the legal 
status of your translation team.
For example, assigning copyright to the Dutch KDE-team is not possible in The 
Netherlands, because the KDE-team is not a legal entity with empoyees that 
work on the translation.
In stead, every translator of the files should put themself in the po-files as 
copyrightholder.
