We should only translate things, that we can verify to make sure that the language looks good and also that the burden on us is acceptable. I wasn't aware of the gettext framework much, until I spent a lot of time with it yesterday and I must say, that it's actually very nice and manageable. For example, you can use the "poedit" (http://www.poedit.net/) program to edit/translate the po files and so on. > > But I agree that some things, like the webpage or Wikipedia articles, > are very good to translate for outreach purposes. > > So Ondrej, with your work, is > http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2011/7127301 > still relevant?

In fact, I have already updated the issue with the task description, which is this one: http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2795 suggesting to implement the gettext framework for Sphinx, as Jo independently also suggested above. It's invigorating that I independently either implemented or suggested the same things as Jo, so I think there is good agreement on using gettext.
