Actually it consists of a Panel which looks like this:
 _______
|_______|
|   |   |
|   |   |
|___|___|
|_______|

The top pane is (currently) node 117, but it could equally well be a
view which would simply show node 117 or its translation.
This is a page just like any other which needs to be translated.

The left-hand side is defined as the community_spotlights view. Which
collects spotlights in the current language and displays a list of them,
just like the news. I guess it could be fiddled maybe to show English
pages, only.

The right-hand side consists of two things: 1) a view called news and 2)
a block which lists upcoming events.

The bottom part is the get_involved block.

So I propose the following solution:

1) create a view which shows node 117 and its translation
2) create a node containing the contents of the bottom area. And a view
to show it or its translation
3) edit the home panel to show these views
4) encourage translators to translate said articles.

Translation of the spotlights is done through the spotlights, and
translation of news items on that page etc.

I can do steps 1 and 2 and 3, but fo 4 I need help ;)

Hope this explains things a bit more.
