There are obviously some of us with excellent english and proofreading skills, so if we could set up a system where people run articles through online translators and rewrite the result into reasonable English it would work. Obviously this would involve reading through the whole thing, but it is possible. One thing I'm not too sure of - can we really copy FA text from a non-en:wp to en:wp and still comply with GFDL without stating every single contributor in the edit summary?
Couldn't we put the link to the contributors list on the other wiki into the edit summary when pasting in the translation?
Probably not because there is no way of guaranteeing that the link will stay active.
