Ok, two potential leads spring to mind immediately... Jono Bacon of the
KDE <jonobacon@yahoo.com> project may know who the best people in the
KDE project to discuss this with, and Dave Shea <dave@mezzoblue.com> is
a web design professional that does stuff with the Mozilla project.

As far as I'm aware the Mozilla project doesn't (yet) have a good
multi-lingual website infrastructure, but Dave Shea looks to have a wide
range of knowledge and may be able to point us towards other projects
that do.

Hope that's helpful.
