We can break the file up so that each file contains say 500 terms
(or similar) and then all translators work on each file adding
a comment above the words they've suggested.  An example would
be,

  # QAC - Arafat, Ossama
  # QAC - Youcef
  msgid "Connected"
  msgstr "Trans-A"
  msgstr "Trans-B"

As you can see that only two people contributed to this word and
one person agrees with the first translation (ie. Arafat suggested
"Trans-A" and Ossama agreed with it while Youcef suggested "Trans-B").
Once the file's deadline is up, you guys all get on IRC and make
final decisions on each term and trim the names and secondary
translations.  I think this system is simple, self-sufficient and
doesn't require massive coordination (ie. people can move way ahead
of the game by making suggestions and simply noting that they've
looked at the word/term by noting their name).  It would be important
though to have the names match the location of the term (ie. if you
are adding the third suggestion for a translation your name should
be the third '# QAC -' comment above it).

Just a thought (I've noted this approach before).

Salam.
