Perhaps we could keep the separate www/{en,ja,...} trees in the repo, but install the files as index.en.html, index.ja.html, and so on.

I'm not suggesting that someone go spend the effort to completely rearchitect the www/ tree. But perhaps a three or four page prototype could be put together. This would let us quickly see the effect of various proposals without committing us to anything. It also lets us see the real world effects of various designs, rather than just theorising on them.
