Wouldn't it be better to concentrate efforts on making the official D 
site and the forum interface multilingual? (and also incidentally add a 
French forum here?) Then this system can be expanded to other languages 
easily.

Take my website as an example. For almost any page (for instance the 
D/Objective-C project[1]), you have a link at the top right to go to 
the French equivalent of that page (which is a good proper translation, 
NOT an automatic one). It's very handy when you can find a page in a 
language and need the equivalent in another to post as a link somewhere.

Also, make sure you have a published lexicon for translated terms every 
one can base upon. For instance, the one I made for PHP Markdown:
