To my knowledge, not at present.  There are several options available to us:

[1] Remove displayable strings from the CSS files.
[2] Teach the translation tools how to grab content strings from CSS files
and apply PO files to them.  If we go down that route, I think it might be
simplest to put CSS rules containing displayable strings into a separate
file so one doesn't have to run the translation scripts every time one
wants to tweak normal CSS rules.
[3] Convert the CSS files into templates that are processed by Template
Toolkit and which can use a plugin to grab translations from the database.
 I'm not sure how well that approach would play with Bootstrap and using
LESS, however.

Regards,

Galen
