Pavilion is considering a request from a potential client to add this feature. This is the spec we’re considering. Comments welcome.
Core Feature

Translate topic titles into a predefined list of locales, defined by a site setting, upon topic creation.

Translations will be stored in topic custom fields as

Additions

Allow the topic translation controls to translate the title into additional locales beyond the predefined list, including perhaps by users without topic edit privileges.

Integrate title translations into search
