Open Source is the answer ...
I have often thought that the best way for a publisher to get a book translated quickly and well is to set up an open source project. Let willing people check out a chunk of pages to translate (more than one is better). Then check the pages back in ... those who want to review can check out all existing copies, compare and update (one reviewer at a time), then check in the reviewed copy.

Then give all the existing copy and reviewed copies to the translator. Whole thing gets done in a month.
