There are two main problems - first, that the pages can get out of sync, and second that there is no easy way for translators to be reminded about what needs doing. That is, by the old way of doing it. It sounds to me as though you want the same as we wanted in our wiki - translations of English pages, kept easily in sync, with all new input being on the English page. If that is your requirement, Niklas Laxstrom's Translate extension is for you. You can see how it works for us if you visit http://userbase.kde.org. We'd be happy to answer questions on Freenode's #kde-www.
