I messed around four a handful of hours after feeling inspired from
that website that was linked.
*I got a 'diff' like view of __TOC__ items (en on one side, fr on other other)
*If the fr is missing prompt to create it, use a hack to use en as default text.
*I found it much easier to have en side read only and the fr side
mundanely writeable.
*I just did cheesy <form> actions to a hack that pushed the changes as
individual __TOC_ edits rather than using that sexy ajax thing they
had.
I can see the need for work flow being what drives how you design
this. Since I know nothing about actual translations and just did the
raw diff edit.
The editing of complete static texts vs editing living wiki content
seems quite easy. Especially with major content structure changes
where the __TOC__ will get out of whack. Make big changes to en,
potentially you could toss out the hours of work on fr.
