Well this is planned. These are the steps followed so far:

1. convert all docs in an easy to manage and versioning format (odt->asciidoc): done
2. add tools and files to make docs translatable (gettext & .po files): done
3. adapt & integrate the build & packaging scripts to the KiCad system (cmake): 99.9% done

once this is all up & running (we are almost done) we can start think on
how to integrate it in a web tool or other means to easy translation
tasks for non-devs.

Thanks for your interest in the matter,
Regards,
