Heiya Antoine,
this is not really a Semantic MediaWiki specific question, thus I am also forwarding this to the general MediaWiki list to broaden the audience and attention for your question.
Personally I do not like auto translated content and rather have no translation than an automated one. However having this if you push massive amounts of pages and at the same time providing an approximate idea about its contents is all about could indeed be a solution. A matter of taste and objective.
So if you think 1 or 2 is ideal for you you will most probably have to look for a new maintainer or ask the old one to fluff things. More or less a matter of money and/or goodwill.
Suggestions 3 to 5 are basically the same. Just depending if you want to install pre-bundled software or not. Here you need people to do the work.
Cheers Karsten

I'd like to translate MW pages into various languages (Spanish in particular). I am pushing (climate change related) legislative updates to hundreds of articles where the information is presented with human generated content. As a result human translation of these articles is not what I am looking for. Do you have any suggestions on www.ClimatePolitics.info can be best presented in multiple languages?
I've identified the following as related potentials, but am uncertain as to whether I should invest in attempting to make 1 or 2 to compatibility with MW 1.27 (climatecongress.info/wiki/Special:Version) or if I should focus on 3:4:5:6 or another alternative.

If you have any suggestions on which one(s) to focus on please let me know. -Antoine CRSReports.com http://www.crsreports.com/ Twitter
