- core issue: what tooling and workflow could work, both to translation
maintainer and cocos committers, not only as an one shoot translation but
for maintenance.

- the programing guide, generated from .rst in the repo, should be easier
to tackle

- the api reference is tougher: sphinx scans the .py docstrings and
produces .rst in a first pass, to docgen/api, and  then the second pass
renders to final format (html). Needs alternative source for the
docstrings, and hooking in the sphinx build system to orchestrate the data
flow in each language.

- .py in master must not be bloated with translations

- the english build must be a stock sphinx build (if other lang needs extra
or custom extensions, and changes in sphinx broke that, I don't want docs
to be showstopper for release)

- I have no experience with sphinx and translations, I would ping people
from the pyar list (I think I have seen your mail there ?). Specifically
Hugo Ruscitti, I think at some time he talked about supporting docstring
translation for some project (Pilas ?), Humitos maybe, he is involved in
translation projects. Others in that list had done docs translation, so
maybe asking also in the list will suggest tooling and workflows.

- A look at the link provided by Daniel may be productive

In a pinch, I think you should do a preliminary work like
  -  by asking people, have an idea of how hard api docs translations can be
  - decide the translation scope: only programming guide or the full thing ?
  - propose a sketch of the tooling and workflow for discussion
