I recommend not using an army of YAML files.  Instead, install 
fast_gettext, which adopts the GNU gettext approach of using PO files. 
The advantages here are:
* Readable string keys instead of weird symbolic ones
* Since PO files have been widely used in software localization for some 
time, there's lots of translation tool support for PO files, and many 
translators already know how to work with them.

If you're looking for a Facebook-style community translation interface, 
that Translate plugin certainly looks promising (though I've never used 
it either).
