If this does not work out as well as expected, you may want to take a
look at https://github.com/mozilla/kitsune/ . This is the platform that
runs support.mozilla.org – a fully localizable Mozilla's support wiki,
which has superceded built-in help in Firefox and Thunderbird long ago.
Having used it a bit, I could say that its localization UI sucks at the
moment, but I think this problem should be easy to solve, because it is
limited to UI only.
