I think there are three distinctive tasks:

1. Translate the content, which is mainly the .md files and the few
   strings in config.toml.
2. Add new languages in config.toml. My pull request shows that this is
   simple.
3. Create a language switcher. You can see on publiccode.eu how I did it
   once, but there may be more elegant solutions. The snippet I pasted
   in the PR basically just creates a list of available languages
   (configured in config.toml), now it's about placement, styling etc.

Best,
Max
