If you don't want to use the running wiki for translation, you can work with the XML source files that generate the documents, for example see http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/enterprise/trunk/wiki/src/main/resources/Main/ You can make a tool that extracts the content from the wiki into files accepted by OmegaT (or another translation tool) and back into XML files once the translation is done. > The XWiki was not designed for localization that's why the resources > properties are used for conversion.

I tend to disagree here, XWiki was designed with localization in mind, that is why also documents, not just static bundles, can be translated.
