[WIP] Add french, japanese, and chinese by JulienPalard · Pull Request #8 · python/docsbuild-scripts

Yes, I do: Let translations live out of docs.p.o domain :)

That's killing a fly with a bazooka. letting translations out of the official repository mean hiding them. Here in France I met a bunch of python developpers, but no one aware of the french translation.

So, basically you're saying "Let's keep non-english speakers far away from Python, I fear they report bugs".

Another problem with this idea is that we don't actually have any control over these repositories and their content

That's why I opened the thread on Python-ideas, quote:

Where to host the translated files

Currently we're hosting the po files in the afpy's (Francophone
association for python) [6] github [1] but it may make sense to use (in
the generation scripts) a more controlled / restricted clone in the
python github, at least to have a better view of who can push on the
documentation.
We may want to choose between aggregating all translations under the
same git repository but I don't feel it's useful.

So, I'm not against moving po files to github.com/python/whatever, it even make sense, and it's possible with this PR as repository, branches, and versions are only configuration.
