The community translation tool is offline as of August 27, 2014. We
will be providing a new and improved community-sourced translation
tool in the future. If you would like to assist with translating
Magento please send an email to community@magento.com.
What now? Does anyone have an idea where I can get the language packs I need?
For this particular case, I need a ro_RO language pack for CE-1.9. (yes, I know, I'm Romanian and I don't have a ro_RO language pack yet. I'm ashamed, but that's the situation).
And as a general question, where should people go get their language packs until the "new and improved community-sourced translation" is finished?

For Romania I've found this: http://ext.topmage.com/extensions/20/32/Locale_Mage_community_ro_RO/
and:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/magento-ce-1x/
But I'm not sure if it's still supported by project authors.
Where should we go: search GitHub repos, Google and go 20 pages.
It would be nice from Magento authors to at least make a GitHub repository with all language packs. I'm lucky I've copied those that I use.
Edit: Based on archive that Marius have posted I've managed to make a public repository so you can download all language: http://github.com/versedi/Magento-Locales/
