Indeed machine translation is really hard, but assistance into translation is a more reachable goal. Focus on the terms before translate whole stuffs, suggest meaning for terms, for example. Or suggest completion while translating stuffs. And as there is already datas to feed in in the Mediawiki ecosystem as translation of stuffs, take Wikidata translated pages for example. This is not a huge dataset and there is tons of untranslated things, so it may be something that eventually makes a difference, translating things make translation easier which could motivate people.
