I think a good solution can be a wiki-style documentation integrated in 
the main site:

- You (staff) create a page in english language.
- Then somebody can translate the page (as a wiki page) with the same 
structure (the same number and order of titles, subtitles, paragraphs, 
etc. This check can be hardcoded in the website system) and save it.
- It can't create a different page (i.e. about another subject if there 
isn't the english one).
- If the transaltion is bad or something else, another person can edit 
it and save the changes.
- If there are some translations for the english page then the site 
shows them, else nothing appears near the original one.
- If you change the structure of the original english page (i.e. you add 
a paragraph) the translation become invalid and it disappears unless 
someone validates it (adding the translated paragraph).

A similar example can be found on: http://book.cakephp.org/

Greetings

P.S.1: if you've just read this email you know I'm not a good 
translator, sorry... :P
P.S.2: I think the website needs a good graphic restyling as the 
documentation section.
