RTD models translations as separate projects, so it should make it
easier: http://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/localization.html#project-with-multiple-translations

Most importantly, because they're separate projects, each translation
will get to set its own project home page and source control repo
reference.

It will still be up to translation authors to make some of the manual
changes that Terry mentions to point people to the right issue
trackers, but it shouldn't be any worse than what we see with
occasionally redirecting people to the Python Packaging Authority
issue trackers for various purposes.

Cheers,
Nick.
