I mean that, given that the output is essentially plain wikitext, it
might be a good idea to include the original source paragraphs hidden
within the body of the output:

 <machine translated text in language x>
 <!-- hidden original text in source language -->

The output files of course would be larger, and having large amounts
of different texts might confuse autodetect.. But the issue is again
to aid users in keeping a high fidelity between input and translated
output, and keeping source paragraphs close.
