Just my $0.02 -- I think this is the best solution also technically, but the only thing I would be worried about is contributors who inadvertently screw up translated sections (errant keystrokes, etc.) and don't know that they've done so since they can't read the text. Does this approach gain us enough to balance out that risk? Otherwise, I think it's a super idea. -- Paul W.
