Here is how I usually do it.
Create a block with this content: 

{{block type="core/template" template="custom/template/path.phtml"}}

Then I create the template customer/template/path.phtml and inside it I'm able to use: $this->__('Text') or Mage::helper('checkout')->__('Text').

If you don't like this approach, You can override Mage_Cms_Model_Template_Filter (that extends Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Filter) and add your translate directive similar to Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Filter::blockDirective() or Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Filter::skinDIrective().
