Generally yes. We could (for now) simply put
 description_<lang>.html 
in parallel to the existing description.html files.

Maybe a few modifications are needed to the 'fakestart' trick to
generate the HTML headers translated. In this case the Makefile
would have to re-run the HTML file creation for each supported
language.
Not sure, maybe there are better solutions.
