 When I review translations of others (especially new contributors), I
 often find myself spending time correcting & telling about the same issues
 that are against the rules in [https://wpdocs.osdn.jp/WordPress_の翻訳/翻
 訳スタイルガイド our style guide].

 Here are some examples:

 **Warning** (if these are violated, the translation should never be
 approved)

 1. Never use multibyte symbols and numbers such as: `１`,`？`,`！`,`％`,`
 ＄`
 2. Use hiragana instead of kanji for "全て" (= all), "下さい" (= please)

 **Notice** (there are some exceptions so the translator needs to confirm
 that it's not against the rule)

 1. In most cases, try to omit the word "you (`あなた`)"
 2. Place a single-byte space before & after an alphabetic word/phrase,
 unless it's right next to one of the following:` 。`,`、`,`:`,`(`,`)`
 etc...

 I'm sure there are similar types of (relatively) minor but style-violating
 mistakes that often come up for each locale. Correcting these are very
 mind-numbing for editors, but at the same time, it's not very easy for new
 contributors to understand all these rules in the first place.

 I think it's best if GlotPress can automatically handle these kinds of
 warnings and notices so editors can spend more time on other things.
