Option to download Khan Academy in different languages #95

I just returned from a volunteer trip to schools using IIAB. As described in #93, I'm adding 3 issues

In Haiti, our library contains only English-language videos from Khan Academy. Although the prevalent language in Haiti is Haitian Creole, it is unlikely that translations will be made in the near future. French is a close relative to Haitian Creole and most videos have already been translated to French. I would like to add a language option for French and for other languages (I remember KA being redone in Latin American Spanish a couple of years ago).

Update: the guide recommends that users download a torrent of English-language videos - I've reached out to the Orange Foundation (which produced the French-language Khan Academy videos) to ask if they could offer an FTP or other type of download. Otherwise there are YouTube channels and various ways to scrape YouTube videos.

If there is a French language torrent, I'd be happy to seed it.
