Sphinx supports gettext *.pot files for localization. I'm sure some
professional localization tools must support that, since it's by far the
most common localization approach for C source packages and is widely used
by (e.g.) the GNU Project and Debian.
I don't know if the specific way that Sphinx is used with the MIT Kerberos
documentation is set up for that method of localization, but it should be
possible.
