Use the translate extension!
Since you admit human proofreaders will have to go through and verify translations, why not perform both tasks at the same time. The translate extension allows for connection to a translation service and can auto fill the translation for you. At the same time a translator can make adjustments so you're not creating lots of pages with inaccurate translations.

I too have a similar problem, and would like to know the best way of dealing with it - in particular if file-names also need to be translated.

I am tasked with translating our wiki into a couple of languages. We have several thousand pages, and just creating all of the sub-pages is a monumental task.
I've looked at the various translate extensions, and they seem to be either on the fly, or assisted manual.
Is anyone aware of a translation extension or script that would spider through the wiki, using Google or MS to translate each page, and create the appropriate language sub-pages?
I know that human proofreaders would have to go through each page after that and fix/correct/rewrite the automatic translations, but at least all of the subpages, with the appropriate images, templates, etc. would be in place, making the job much, much simpler.
