Description
This is what I want:

When I install new software, I want right-click some strange new word in menus for example and click "translate", asked "What language?", find it from dictionary and write it in finnish. Then the new translation is added automaticly to P2P-database of translations and automaticly polled against other suggestions as translations. I can get from database translations what others have done, and if I'm not satisfied with some translation, I can write my own one and again make automatic vote for that one.

Same for "Help". Right-click some button or field, choose Help and get from database what other users have written as explanations for that place or if there are open "Questions", write your own help and share it with others.

In matter of days, if popular software, you can have it fully translated and explained for your language. And all you have done is translate some words and write some explanations as help for some workings of software.

I think it's hard to make sure people won't spam this, but it's not a bad idea.
