Description
I have been browsing various documentation sites, as part of exploration for #1, and I quite like how React has handled their presentation for the documentation translations: https://reactjs.org/languages
By having a separate page, the page can now contain:
- Clear indicators for the "state" / "completeness" of the translation efforts, like "In Progress" and "Needs Contributors".
- Clear links to contribute to each of the language-specific translation efforts.
- Callout to a documentation page, for folks interested in contributing additional languages.
- A lot more space to present translations across many languages. :)
I think all of these are basically non-feasible for a dropdown-based language selector like we have today on docs.python.org.

Research direction
Review the current dropdown-based language selector and compare it with the React languages page linked in the issue. Define the dedicated page's translation status indicators, contribution links, and guidance for adding languages; done means these needs are presented clearly across multiple languages.
