If a wiki page is created that is "about translation",
then the first task of a new translator (even one who
will be translating the same language as an existing
translator) could be to translate that page.

The translator's mentor could oversee that process.

If the 'type' of page, and it's content, is suitably
arranged (perhaps even artificially so), then
translating it could serve as a useful exercise in
getting the new translator familiar with various issues
they might face when doing the 'real' translations.
