This can be done with eZ publish and the multilingual system there.  
You can connect notifications to a translation done to an object  
(page) which can send an e-mail notice to the translators with a diff  
of the content changed in any language to the translators/editors of  
the other languages.

Of course the system needs to be installed and configured.
