As a translator, I would like to endorse the ability of Sphinx to create po
file to do multilingual support. Wiki systems are hard to achieve that. The
most resources are in English, and the official content is English too. In
order to spread more widely and lower the boundaries for local newcomers,
translations are a key way to make blender globally. In all, we do need
translations for blender manual.

In the past, translators have to track English pages for changes and update
the translations accordingly. Most end giving up because the diff work is
tiring. Although there is a translatewiki.net translate extension, I hardly
find other FLOSS projects using this technology. I am not sure if it
actually works or not.

Anyway, in my own opinion, I strongly suggest finding some ways for
translators to work on easier, no matter what the platform is.
