I have discovered why, you must set explicitly language to translate
into.

test in bin/version.py:

import paths
import Mailman.mm_cfg
from Mailman.i18n import _, set_language

set_language(Mailman.mm_cfg.DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE)
print _('Using Mailman version:'), Mailman.mm_cfg.VERSION

I suppose all scripts in bin must be changed.

Yes, it is a work to be done.
I found it very difficult to translate, because the process of archive
generation :-(
You can try it ;-)
I think that the proper persons to do it are mailman managers.

By now I recommend to be README.hu, but must be Barry the one to decide
it.
