I like this idea a lot. If mediawiki and toolchain would additionally
support paragraphs as primary unit it would allow to activate translated
paragraphs. This might as well facilitate book creation, links to Wikidata
etc. The granularity of articles is differing between languages I.e. What
would be described in 2 articles in English often is packed into one in
German.

What we need to figure out is how to allow translation
of articles
through micro contributions via cellphones.
Maybe send out sentences one by one for translation from one language
to another. Just start with the leads of articles that are deemed to
be of good quality. Than when the lead is all translated join it back
together and add it to that language. This would of course only apply
to articles which are non existent in the target language.
Maybe Amir's "content translation" tool could do this eventually
