There would be ways to do so, if needed (front prox[y|ies] with
rewrite/redirection rules to name one).

The question is, do we need to plan today for this kind of scaling issue?

That would be a wiki team (that is a mix of i18n and doc team I
guess?). Against a specific policy (like, having a sufficient list of
involved-enough people to take care of a newly open wiki locale).

1 per language.

Depends how you set it up. @ Mandriva, we had a single code instance,
and small custom config files (1 per locale).

I did not understand this one. :)

Same codebase for every locale if possible (that's achievable).
