Hmmm.
The Translate extension seems to be made for translating the interfaces of software projects. It doesn't seem to be set up to translate documents or wiki content.
Are you SURE that the translate extension is what cornell is asking for?
IMO, translating an interface for a program is childs play in comparison to translating the content of wiki pages or, in the worst case, poetry.
If you aren't willing or can't pay to hire real translators to translate content, I suggest using Google's translate toolbox (http://translate.google.com/ and choose "Translator Toolkit" on the left side - register)
I've also had some success using the ProofreadPage and DoubleWiki extensions, which allow side-by-side display of a wiki page with an image of a page.
Perhaps translatewiki and the translate extension somehow provide this fuctionality. But I can't see it there, and what I do see looks like it would be quite frustrating for anyone NOT translating a user interface.

Have a look at the Translate extension. We are doing tests at the moment with the Freenode #kde-www community for similar things.
You may want to join Freenode's #mediawiki-i18n and look for me or Nikerabbit.

Does anyone here work with multilanguage Wiki content? Are there any extensions that ease the pain of translating Wiki articles?
