I made some code and the blog entry on my blog, for automated generation of translation via google translate.

short:
Idea:
Most Web platforms use a DB table to hold the localized strings.
e.g. Dolphin form boonex
keyid,langid, string
So in the Admin we just make up a new language, which will be the copy of the default language (usually english)
This gives us the ID for the .ini file.
So we go and copy the english strings into a new language with a given id (langid),
the we itererate over all the english strings and call google translate for the translation.
This makes an almost usable Solution, which should need some work.
enjoy and cheers
