Yes, the portal is being designed with localization in mind. Our intent is to register as a translatewiki.net (TWN) project to allow translations of the English source content. We expect the translation workflow to look much like the workflow for any software project at TWN using GNU PO files as the translation dictionary. Our messages will be using Markdown syntax rather than MediaWiki syntax for things like links, bold, and italic. This is something that we will need to document at TWN or elsewhere for translators. We evaluated an existing plugin for translation of mkdocs projects in our initial proof of concept work. The evaluation convinced us that things could be made to work, but that we would need to create our own plugin with changes intended to make it easier to integrate with TWN. The current plugin work is tracked in <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T297168> and <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/wikimedia/developer-portal/+/747214/>.
