http://wiki.okfn.org/ckan/i18n/ may be useful

We could create a translation team on transifex for you if that would be useful.

BTW: you can do openid delegation so your website is your openid
(though not sure this works will all openid providers):

You can have any postgres db you want, not sure how easy it is to
change the pg schema being used ...

cc'ing this response.

There's also #ckan or #okfn on irc.oftc.net.
