People were asking on the quickml list already, so it's just logical step. 
Besides, people might stick around long enough to be able to help others :)

The first location that comes to my mind would be Teams/TranslationTeam, and 
then probably language-related sub-pages Teams/TranslationTeam/de or similar.
This structure furthers the idea of a "translation team" vs. "the 
German/French/etc. translation team". (Which is my outside impression of the 
team)

The exact structure certainly depends on your workflows and other needs. I 
would keep the language-specific pages similar in content and naming schemes, 
but that's just my personal view.

…which suits us well because wikis are traditionally awkward to translate. 
(But I'm open to suggestions for establishing some methodology for translating 
parts of the wiki)

Cheers,
