Using a rather simple pair like Afrikaans - Dutch or a heavily researched one like English - Spanish would be giving us a wrong impression of how this will scale. We should at least add a few random pairs like Yoruba - Gujarati or Kazakh - Lombard. Most of our 67,000 language pairs that we will have to cover will fall in the latter group, not in the first two.

As with so many things, it will be hard to assess cost/benefits without making some effort. A safe bet could be to try with an existing pair or develop a pair with an estimated high demand.
Is there a pair where some work has already been done?
For Apertium there are quite a few already done: http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Main_Page
Regarding new language pairs, no idea if the priorities for Wikipedia would be the same as the priorities the Apertium community has. It might be worth considering which languages to prioritize and how to measure success or lack thereof.
