There was lots of valuable contents there, and I know I for one was quite pissed off that my contributions there were no longer available. So, it is unfortunate, but don't count on this happening any time soon.

I filed a feature request for that a couple of years ago too (I also 
prefer the offline documentation), but as the web version got scrapped, 
I believe this request also got closed.

For handling multi-languages: you don't. The Qt documentation is in 
English, just as the API itself. Why would you support comments in other 
languages? If people can read the documentation to begin with, they can 
also read comments in English.
