Plone (http://plone.org) is a CMS written on top of Zope Application
Server .. which is written using Python language.

The database is and object database called ZODB and it is bundled
together with the Zope installation. ZODB default storage is file
based, but optionally, ZODB may use MySQL or PGSQL as its backend
storage, allowing replication/backup through the SQL backend ..

Infra requirement for latest Plone,

* Python2.6 (so should be ok on RHEL/CentOS .. but if its a Fedora
server, will need compat-python26)
* ability to listen to a port
* gcc, g++, python2.6-devel, libxslt-devel, libjpeg-devel, zlib-devel
for buildout to build some python eggs (what is buildout?, covered
below)

There used to be RPM for Fedora, but it was orphaned, and for EPEL,
its outdated.

However,  the best method (and also the recommended method by the
Plone community) of deployment of Plone is using Buildout
(http://www.buildout.org/) , which is a deployment tool which
automatically pulls python eggs from pypi , and install them into a
self-contained directory, avoiding conflicts with system's python
site-package, and also allowing easy updates to latest versions
without being restricted to distribution packages.

I'm not sure how well this will go with the infra team ..

as in translation ?.. Plone itself support multilingual using an addon
called LinguaPlone. LinguaPlone allows each page to have different
language versions.

However my conference addon does not support it yet as I am utilizing
a new content type framework for Plone, of which it have yet to get a
multilingual support (planned, as this new content type framework is
supposed to replace the current one..  but not ready yet) ..
