Assuming you're content with just a native in the language you want to translate to, versus
a native and a professional, you might not even need the money part. You have interesting/fun, open source / GNU-style-free software, and a decent internationalization scheme which allows translators not to mess with code to get their work done? Add a note to various places, like in the 'about..', that you're looking for translators for this and that language, or "any". Last time I had a sudden urge to contribute, I picked up one project I found from SourceForge which was done in a jiffy, and one bigger game which I'm still working on.

My main problem then was that from SF, I found only one which seemed that it might have any interest in a Finnish translation. And with the bigger project outside SF, I knew they wanted localizations but was intimidated by the size of it: "what if my translation isn't good enough for them?"
