Change `It is` to `El es` for ES, I believe – inspectorG4dget Aug 28 '13 at 19:31
If the intro is too complex, you can do a variety of things. You can create a dictionary with languages mapping specific keys (language names) to values (the translations), or you can retrieve the translation of your welcome message with google translate. But the simples is what @Mark suggested to use pythons locale. – Aug 28 '13 at 20:03
