This appears to be a moot point now that a MediaWiki has already been set up, but based on the 
plugin I was looking at to provide deep multilingual support ( 
http://foswiki.org/Extensions/TopicTranslationsPlugin ), you could also localize per page, called 
"topic" in Foswiki lingo. Thus, we could set up a complete web for any localization community to 
work within their own language, and for main web content we could generate a separate page to 
mirror that content in each language as well.

I've asked a few questions on the Foswiki discussion list and gotten a friendly response in return, 
with the promise of more followup soon. If you'd like to join that list directly for a few days 
(which has been pretty low-volume the past few days I've been on it), it would be great:
