[matplotlib-devel] Possibility for internationalized sphinx docs?

Hello all,

Given some recent -- ahem -- difficulties with matplotlib users where
English is not their native language, it has dawned on me that maybe we
ought to consider making available translated versions of our
documentation.  I have absolutely no experience with such efforts, but I did
see that Sphinx does support internationalization:

http://sphinx.pocoo.org/latest/intl.html

and I do believe we have some bilingual developers on this list (or at least
are active on the users list).  While I don't think it would be possible to
translate the API docs effectively, at the very least we should be able to
provide translations of other parts.

What does everyone think?  Could someone who has done internationalization
(particularly using sphinx) comment?  What languages would we like the docs
to be in?
