You can approach this from two directions:

DIY, as outlined in Monica's answer. Use basic XML tools and the DITA Open Toolkit. Up-front cost can be low, but expect to spend a lot of time getting it to work the way you want. Support for content reuse will be minimal.
Get an integrated solution. The one I know of is Author-it. This combines an authoring tool with a CMS and a translation support system. It's available as onsite software or as SAAS. You're trading cost for implementation time: it costs a few thousand, but you spend much less time getting it up and running.
