Fine by me.

Not currently... all of the modules with po-doc dirs need extra stuff
created when a new docs translation gets created.  I was playing around
with this a while ago, but decided to drop it since we're theoretically
moving to a new docs authoring language.

Also, need to figure out a way to deal with localised screenshots.

Yeah, that's a little messy to do and would mean generating a new commit
on the fly, which I don't really like.
