I've had a bunch of experience with WPML now and can say that 
multi-lingual is a complicated thing to attack. Much more complicated 
than it appears at first sight.

I guess it depends on what your scope is, but to gain any sort of real 
market share eventually your plugin will need to solve a whole bunch of 
issues.

If you come up with a good comparison matrix in your github README.md, 
that alone is quite great value.
