I don't think it's so much people who are able to do this as it is 
people who *will* do it.  Granted some projects make it easier to do 
than others.  Karl Fogel has a good perspective based on getting 
translations of a book he wrote:

But it still takes people trying to contribute.

Are there any Open Source C# programs?  Would those count as real-life 
examples?
