IMHO there are many different ways to improve the site. One approch  that is
actually used by the clamav team that is betting on internationaliation. The
site is built using cms or in another way, it does not really matters.
Content matters. Content are simply text in UTF8 strings with the <lang>
tag. One have just to copy and translate the <lang_en> contents to
contribute via svn. The web team using cms/css or other method decide the
site shape and organization. Contents and rapresentation are truly separate.
