While this is definitely a big +1 from me, I've already worked on updating the djangoproject.com code to support Sphinx' latest i18n features before and during Djangocon and only need to incorporate them in the new site code. > There are some tricky problems to solve -- most notably the issue of > tracking which bits of content have been translated into which > languages and how up-to-date with the original English docs those are Indeed, this is actually solved by recent changes in the Sphinx (versioning and i18n support), that'll be part of the 1.1 release (Yay!). From what I understand there will also be an API that would allow us display sensible information about the accuracy of each translation, since changes to content blocks are tracked internally. Whether we should adopt the use of Sphinx websupport module to lower the efforts on our site is yet to be determined though.
