Interesting solution, but there are probably an easy/better way of doing something similar to it.
There is an extension called:
Documentation/sphinx/load_config.py
Which allows using a per-document conf.py file. While it can also be used to have a "nitpick" version where extra warnings are enabled, the main usage were to have separated PDF documents.
We ended finding a better solution, so most conf.py got removed on this patch: 9fc3a18a942f ("docs: remove extra conf.py files").
Anyway, perhaps we could simply add a Documentation/translations/conf.py that would add the CJK font only there.
Even better, we could even improve it in a way that each translation would generate a separated book, and then use CJK only for the non-Latin translations.
