If I had enough people (let's say 5 to 6) I could have done the same with the 
German translation using svn, poedit/lokalize.

And if everyone just commits his translations as soon as he finishes them and 
everyone checks the po-files out before he starts, you don't have the problem 
of different local po files.
And with a little communication you can devide the tasks quite fine between the 
translators.

But I have one technical question: Is this a web tool you are using there? 
Because I wouldn't want some purely webbased infrastructure. There are quite 
some times, in which you would have time to translate but no internet 
connection (longer travels by train,...)

And: vcs systems are normally quite good at merging files so even if more then 
one translator does work on the sam po file at the same time, it is solvable.
