I see Wikimedia Commons as being more of a repository, while Wikisource 
is more of a general text-document-oriented site that isn't merely a 
dumping ground for documents, but also organizes them, translates them, 
annotates them, and so on.  It's not clear how the proposed translation 
project would fit in at the Commons, for example.

(I could be misinterpreting what the Commons is supposed to be.)
