The problem is how do you distribute the translations with MediaWiki? I guess the various MediaWiki: namespace for each language could be exported.
Yes, the bulk of the PHP file can be generated using the "&ot=php" parameter to Special:Allmessages (e.g. http://eu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allmessages&ot=php) and relatively minor changes can be posted as patch attachments at bugzilla. The up-to-date PHP files are then distributed with the software and used in updating the messages on existing wikis (although I'm less clear about how this last part is handled).
