rel

I can't find much online about rel="translation"

We have tutorials and manual entries which we are going to get users to translate. If the original page in English is:

http://www.scirra.com/tutorial/start

And there are two translations:

http://www.scirra.com/tutorial/es/start (spanish)

http://www.scirra.com/tutorial/de/start (german)

How would I correctly link all these up? I'm aware at the top of the page I would need to specify the correct IS639-1 code:

<html lang="de">

But I'm more interested in letting Google know they are not duplicates but are translated.
