It is surely possible, but Damned Lies doesn't currently support the
sphinx i18n toolchain, so you'd have to provide the pot files in the
source code (and update them regularly).

The sphinx toolchain is creating a po file for each subdocument, which
is good when you have big documents, less when you have smaller
documents, as this means more manipulations by translators and
coordinators. This is also taking much more space in the D-L interface.

One solution would be to merge all pot files into one, then re-splitting
the translated po files into multiple po files through msgmerge. This
would certainly require more work at Makefile level...
