Hmmm.

The Translate extension seems to be made for translating the interfaces of
software projects. It doesn't seem to be set up to translate documents or
wiki content.

Are you SURE that the translate extension is what cornell is asking for?

IMO, translating an interface for a program is childs play in comparison to
translating the content of wiki pages or, in the worst case, poetry.

If you aren't willing or can't pay to hire real translators to translate
content, I suggest using Google's translate toolbox
(http://translate.google.com/ and choose "Translator Toolkit" on the left
side - register)

I've also had some success using the ProofreadPage and DoubleWiki
extensions, which allow side-by-side display of a wiki page with an image
of a page.

Perhaps translatewiki and the translate extension somehow provide this
fuctionality. But I can't see it there, and what I do see looks like it
would be quite frustrating for anyone NOT translating a user interface.
