Docstrings are not stored in .rst files but in the numpy sources, so
there are some non-trivial technical and workflow details missing here. But
besides that, I think translating everything (even into a single language)
is a massive amount of work, and it's not at all clear if there's enough

Everything. Within the documentation editor

I have thought for a long time that it would be nice to have numpy/scipy
