I don't know any Wiki which handles translation as well as our current
infrastructure does (with content negociation). The Debian Wiki is no
exception (compare http://wiki.debian.org/PageD'Accueil and
http://wiki.debian.org/FrontPage).
Moreover, the current translation infrastructure allows a good quality
control (based on my experience in the French translation team).

What might be possible is to add a link at the bottom of each webpage
with a link to the correct WebCVS wml page and instructions to submit
any correction to the appropriate mailing list (I don't think that
editing WML would be difficult to our users).
