I don't know the background about it, but to me if the translation was
started by Xfce team and then Zuza did some updates/addons they should
be mentioned as contributor. I'll put like:
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 The Xfce development team
Copyright (C) 2004 Zuza Software Foundation (Translate.org.za)

The first entry seems unclear about who did the work. Probably a note on
i18n website to encourage translators to put their names and copyright
would be good.

I see no issues there. Debian policy just requires the software or
work to have a DFSG compliant license. Copyright holders can be one
ore more.
