Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the state of translations on the wiki.
Sadly, a lot of this stuff might be outdated information from back when
we used different wiki software.  Some work has been done with making
the wiki translatable in a similar way to mediawiki, but that hasn't
gone through to completion unfortunately.  

You might try asking fedora-trans-list at redhat.com if they have any more
up to date procedures for translating the wiki.

Thanks,
Ricky
