We adopted another approach in the end - with a little script we
rename the static directory before generating the docs for each
locale. See

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Training-Manual

and

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Training-Manual/blob/master/post_translate.sh

We havent announced it widely yet because I want to remove some
linfiniti branding still and add some QGIS branding, but the results
of our efforts so far are here:
