A related project that's been mentioned on this list is support for annotations (a footnote-like system), which I think any translation project would need---there are often nuances and controversies in translation that can't be fully resolved in the text, but should be noted for those who are interested (and there are likely to be so many that they need to be noted as attachments to the text like footnotes, not scattered on the talk page).
There is no possibility to have footnotes now in MediaWiki like it exists in LaTeX. That would be a must for this kind of texts.
