This took me quite a while to think through, but in the end I agree. Translations of a resource will often have slightly different contents in terms of the semantics of what is said, so I'd give them different ids. On the other hand, a way of subscribing to one feed that sometimes publishes in both English and (say) French, and only reading one translation of each would be handy. That's probably rel='alternate' within the atom:entry, though.
