After participate in the translation of another indie game (Space engineers) I saw that they use a very easy way to translate all the languages:

The result is that:

As you can see, this way shows a democratic translation system that allow coordination and an improvement of the quality.
It deserves a look i think.

Very cool. I think this is also useful for many other cases.

You should meet up at Výtopna sometime.
I reckon OpenTTD uses a similar translation system, although to be honest I've never volunteered.

The problem with fan translation is that it can take quite a while before reaching decent quality, and the devs would still be accountable for any offensive content.
On the other hand, professional translators cost an arm (per line), so indies often can't afford decent ones.
