IMHO the idea of translation "hints" embedded into Wikipedia articles is a better one. I'm not sure it's going to be possible to construct a pitch for as complex a project as that within a short amount of time however; it may even require a new web standard.
It could possibly be done using existing standards for the Semantic Web (as little used as they are!). Making text machine-translatable is basically the same job as making it machine-readable - translation errors happen because the computer doesn't know what the words actually mean and it is meaning you need to translate, not words.
