If someone wants to go through this path the first sane thing to do is to differentiate stable content from all the rest. Even before that it would be good to differentiate the scope. What do you want to translate, really? Information for end users? Check first the nokia.com pages, there is a big load of content relating to the tablets (and also to the OS) and these pages are multilingual - yet mostly unknown even between tablet regulars. If you want to translate developer documentation... This might make sense for introductory docs and whatever basic you need to get a basic application up & running. However, I wonder how far you can go in open source development where English and English documentation is even part of the code. What you probably want to translate are the tips & tricks for power users that are not explained in nokia.com, nor in the official documentation. Then the wiki is your friend and you have to deal only with a reduced subset of the whole thing. We can also discuss about translating or offering localized versions of maemo.org pages.
