[Doc-SIG] Localization of Python docs

As of Sphinx 1.1, there is the posibility to generate translatable 
strings (.pot files) from a Sphinx project, like it is done in the Open 
Data Handbook:

https://github.com/okfn/opendatahandbook#building-the-english-source-for-translation-i18n

which can be later translated, for example, through a crowdsourcing 
service like Transifex:

https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/opendatahandbook/

(also self-hosted if needed, otherwise the platform is free for open 
source projects)

Would it be possible to have this for the Python tutorials? For the case 
of Spanish language, the Python Argentina community maintains their own 
translated versions:

http://docs.python.org.ar/tutorial/

but they handle it through a SVN repo and I guess it's difficult to 
catch up with the changes upstream. I have not contacted them before 
sending this message, but I would like to know if there would be the 
possibility.

Best regards
