I thought about that afterwards and figured the responsibility to approve
translations could fall on GNOME's i18n team.

This idea would also require the site to be entirely database-driven which
my not be desireable b/c of the overhead that incurs. It may also cause
problems w/ linking, but that can be alleviated w/ the use of GET like
Slashdot does.

and the final product is: lots of Tarsans writing bunch of crap

you haven't said that someone have to control what's written and to allow
or forbid its publishing on the site
