You are exactly right.

This would be a good approach. One way would be to use the an online 
database. We could for example use the "Terminology" database available to 
registered users on amitis.org. We can create a category for FarsiKDE and 
add new words to that category, as we move on with the translation.
The admin needs to approve those words.
