If the text could be automatically generated from a DocBook source, then
the translation could be handled by the same mechanism the KDE guys use:
a Docbook -> PO -> Docbook tool.  Translator don't have to know HTML;
they just use KBabel or gtranslator, etc.  That's the theory at least ...

I've mentioned this already regarding documentation translations, maybe
the idea can be useful here.
