Yes, it's certainly an interesting idea, but it's usually a lot of hard work to get a decent translation going. The article subject would have to be interesting to keep me motivated.

Of course, it would make the goal silly to do so. I'm putting [[WP:100K]] as working to the Featured Article criteria ...
But don't be afraid to reform the process. The meaning of FA should not be to be one of 365 produced each year to show up on the front page.
... but am explicitly not assuming the current FA process.
[[WP:100K]] seems to have a nascent process outlined:
- Check various sources for better-than-average articles. (FA, GA,
A-rated by a project, collaboration-of-the-week, etc.) 2. Rate these per the FAC. I expect FAs and probably GAs will get an automatic pass to save effort.
An idea I have for step 2 is: no self-nominations. I am *suspecting* self-nominations are why FA has to explicitly say "don't take it personally" - they've set up an environment almost designed to make it personal.
Now then, for the bilinguals ... does translating FAs from one project to another sound like something that would arouse your interest at all?
