I've made a system for this at CALS now, see
http://cals.conlang.org/rhlist/

I haven't added a system open to the public for adding this type
of translation/background though, maybe next weekend (if you're
interested).

It's easy enough to restrict that list to only show translations
to/versioms in esperanto... at the core of the matter though:
it's designed so that anyone logged in can add a translation in
any language to anything, so even if lots of backgrounds in
esperanto suddenly spring up, you'd still have to choose which
one or ones to use. Meaning, I'll still add a JSON-download or
something, so that you can filter it yourself. But: not before
next weekend, as I've spent most of this weekend already and
tomorrow I'll hopefully spend some time watching Wall-E at the
cinema (it's been sold out several days in a row!)
