I'm just observing the kernel documentation has a system of its own for
translations. Maybe it's fine this way, but it's certainly different
from what the Sphinx developers had in mind. (But I'm not an expert on
this field, don't ask me how this should be done!)
Regardless, the implication is that this builds on the translation
solution chosen for kernel documentation, for better and for worse, and
raises the bar for switching later. It's something to be aware of.

This could also be part of the menu on the left, I think it's fairly
easy to extend in alabaster. But then again it's already pretty crowded,
and it's all a matter of taste.

Maybe the path to translations should be a configuration option for the
extension, and it could read the translations from the directory instead
of hard coding them here.

Need to rename these files, and keep the translated document names
up-to-date:
for f in $(find Documentation/translations/ -name "*.rst"); do if ! test -f Documentation/${f##Documentation/translations/??_??/}; then echo $f; fi; done
Maybe the extension should warn about documents under translations that
do not have a corresponding original.
