Yes the editing job is more complex than finding content. This is why it
is interesting to d it once for the english version and then let local
users translate the file in their own language.

Of course, local translations team will need a guy that can play with
Scribus but the skills required are very basic because only a few
textbox will need to be adapted or resized... 98% of the layout won't
change.

Actually in the first place, i wanted to create the magazine in French (
my mother tongue ) but i realized it's a bad idea. It's much more easier
to find articles in English, aggregate them and afterwards translate the
whole magazine. That way we can do collaborative work on the english
version and then each local is responsible of the translation.

To give an idea : I think that with an average translation team of 3-4
persons, a full translation can be achieved in 4 weeks.
