Portugese is OK, but galicean, basque and estonian have problems with a
redefined tilde character (~) which cannot be easily disabled as it must
be kept active to work as no-break-space.

The double-quote shorthand is used in about 15 languages by babel. In
addition, the following problematic characters are defined:
active_chars = {# TeX/Babel-name: active characters to deactivate
# 'breton': ':;!?' # ensure whitespace
# 'esperanto': '^',
# 'estonian': '~"`',
# 'french': ':;!?' # ensure whitespace
'galician': '.<>', # also '~"'
# 'magyar': '`', # for special hyphenation cases
'spanish': '.<>', # old versions also '~'
# 'turkish': ':!=' # ensure whitespace
}
The latest upstream LaTeX writer from docutils SVN
http://docutils.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docutils/trunk/docutils/
has a probler fix for the "shorthands" problem. Maybe someone can backport
this to the Sphinx LaTeX writer.
Until then, you can add to the LaTeX preamble the command::
\AtBeginDocument{\shorthandoff{"}}
and for the re-defined ~
if 'galician' in languages::
\deactivatetilden % restore ~ in Galician
if 'estonian' in languages::
\makeatletter
\addto\extrasestonian{\bbl@deactivate{~}}
\makeatother
if 'basque' in languages::
\makeatletter
\addto\extrasbasque{\bbl@deactivate{~}}
\makeatother
