It will of course require some effort, but that I would like to postprone untill after the release or anyone picks up the task. But for the docs, and GUI translations. I think you failed to find https://poedit.net/. But anyway, multiple translators will no call them selves software developers... I think we should start with trying to use transifex.com for the GUI translations at least, but we also have a task of getting that stuff out of the old kicad doc repo. I am trying to work on this. But I have created an org on https://www.transifex.com/kicad/. But it is not really used yet.
