Putting an entire Wikipedia article through it and then "fine tuning" it would be more work than translating it from scratch.

That depends on if you are capable of translating the language if you don't know the language then the translator will give you a good start.

If you don't know the language then you shouldn't be involved in the translation at all... The current process requires both the translators and the proof-readers to know the language.
