Since TeX is a typesetting system, it's not an optimal choice for
translating content.  Zanata doesn't look able to handle it:

"Supported formats include Gettext Portable Object (.po), Java
Properties (.properties), XLIFF, Mozilla DTD, LibreOffice (.odt .fodt
.odp .fodp .ods .fods .odg .fodg .odb .odf) and plain text (.txt)."
(from <http://zanata.org/features/>)

Is there a way to get from TeX souce to a .po, for example?
