This is similar to the multlingual friends network idea but
with a
twist: the documents are first run through something like
bablefish, then offered up to be corrected by native
speakers
in a keen.com style "if you help other people you get more
credits to get more help" type thing. That
way you don't
need to bilingual to help. There could also be a rating
system
so better translator would get more credits for their work.
The results would not be perfect, but better than
babblefish
. . .
the other idea

It's "Babel fish" as in "Tower of Babel," the mythical birthplace of the varied languages of the world. |
|
| |
it's babelfish, as in the fish you stick in your ear if you're hitching through the galaxy with zaphod and arthur. |

Neat -- that could actually work. |
|
| |
You need some sort of rating
system to make sure translation
(repair?) quality stays high. But
I bet keen.com et al. have that
one solved. |
