Community based translating system

Question

Since we don't funds to hire translators for getting multiple languages translated we want the community to do the translation for us. Its a social network. I can't find any good open souce framework to auto do this. Thinking something like: User selects a language, system displays random sentences and user will translate it. Then other users can vote on how good it is. If it's 100 votes + with 95% yes then it becomes official. Site is in PHP.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

What incentive will your users have to contribute translations? Social networks are built around community and exchange, not getting their users to work for free.

Answer 2

Have you tried the google translate tool for websites?
