Comment (by Otto42):

 Proposal:

 - For any plugin/theme/other pages which have actual translated versions,
 we add the link rel=alternate hreflang tags to those translated pages.

 - For any plugin/theme/other pages which have yet to be translated, we add
 rel=canonical pointing back to the main wordpress.org page.

 As translations fill out, this will eliminate the canonicals and add in
 the hreflangs.

 Objections? @joostdevalk ?
