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.
