I have been following the V8 Deployment Best Practices for source control of my projects, tag, images, and gateway backups. Are the translations stored in the internal SQLite database and would also require exporting to the projects directory as is done with images and tags?

Yes, they're held inside the config DB. In 8.3 this (and all other) gateway config will be "exploded" out to the filesystem, much like projects were in 8.0, for better source control compatibility.
