Well, as far as CVS is concerned you cannot remove directories. You can
only remove* files. Even this removal is simply moving it into the
Attic/. 

I would suggest you use extensive tagging (look into cvs tagging
www.cvshome.org) to make it easier to fetch out the correct version of
the translated files. If things are 'shuffled' around then you can
simply delete and add them back and forth. But if things are completely
omitted, then simply leave it as is and add the new stuff somewhere
else. When done with a certain version, tage the specific
files/directories that make up the version's localized data.

Sorry, there is no 'easy' way out of this one.
