First of all: Thanks for working on this. It's nice that finally we're
fleshing something out.

I would like to suggest to learn of GConf's memory consumption issues:
Do not translate the key desciptings inline, i.e. inside the XML files
with simple lang attributes. It will be a memory hog for translations
into a few dozen languages, and will significantly slow down parsing.

Either add org_foo_bar.langcode.schemas files, or optionally add support
for <gettextdomain> and a <gettextdirectory> nodes specifying a gettext
catalog to look up translations.

The former approach has the disadvantage that you may potentially have
node mismatches, so I'd prefer the latter.
