So I've dug a bit further into this problem.  I've confirmed that the
untranslated strings are coming from the API rather than embedded in the
scope, so it isn't a simple matter of adding some gettext() calls and
rerunning "make pot".

The department list is determined by a call to the
youtube.guideCategories.list endpoint:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/guideCategories/list

This endpoint takes hl (human language) and regionCode parameters that
the scope is filling in from the locale and location data respectively.
I notice that even when I use hl=es_ES, some of the guide categories are
returned in English (including "Best of YouTube").

The category list for the surfacing page of each department (including
the top level "Best of YouTube" one) are formed by a call to the
youtube.channels.list endpoint:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list

The id from the guideCategories output is passed as the categoryId
parameter to this API.  There doesn't seem to be any parameters to set
language or region here, so the results all seem to come back in
English.

Also, it looks like the guide returns identical category IDs for all
languages, so it can't use that to determine the language to show for
results.

I'll do a bit more poking around, but I don't see an obvious documented
way to pass in the desired language here.
