Turns out that the Proofread Page extension can be used for this. Apparently, Proofread Page is used on Wikisource for proofing scans and entering text from images.
I messed around four a handful of hours after feeling inspired from that website that was linked.

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.
