There are obviously some of us with excellent english and proofreading skills, so if we could set up a system where people run articles through online translators and rewrite the result into reasonable English it would work. Obviously this would involve reading through the whole thing, but it is possible. One thing I'm not too sure of - can we really copy FA text from a non-en:wp to en:wp and still comply with GFDL without stating every single contributor in the edit summary?
I do not see how the GFDL is in any way linked to a pages "edit summaries" or "revision histories". It is more knowing who has contributed in the long run, a history of which would be kept on the non-en:wp page. It would be more than sufficient to reference that page if someone found the need to trace the contribution history for a page.
