HI, I am a traditional Chinese translator.
I am testing the method proposed by Tetsuo Mitsuda today.
The workflow of translation just works fine.

I prefer to "use Sphinx I18n" too.
It makes writers put more focus/love on English documentation, and that's
what we want.

Separating doc projects for each language might fragmentize/disunite the
work,
and might be more difficult to update the content to date.
It is better for us to have one mainline doc (en doc) to maintain and to
translate from.

It seems that "use Sphinx I18n " is the better solution for us so far.

This might be a problem...
We might have to figure it out or to find some help from Sphnix developers.
