How effective would it be to use human expertise to translate just the contents pages of journals, with links to Google Translate for the bodies of the papers? Or perhaps use humans to also translate the abstracts?
Idea that popped into my head: it might be straightforward to make a frontend for the arXiv that adds a “Translate this into” drop-down list to every paper’s summary page. (Using the list could redirect the user to Google Translate, with the URL for the PDF automatically fed into the translator.) As far as I know no one has done this but I could be wrong.

Does anything like this exist already?
