 It would be super productive if GTEs could write an email template (in
 HTML format) that would be automatically sent to any new translator right
 after their first contribution.
 Something that would say:
 ''Did you know that there is documentation on the rules to follow… Your
 translations will be validated faster… Here are the names of the people
 responsible for your locale… You can find the typographical rules on this
 page, the glossary on this other page...''
 The idea behind this would be to pass the correct guidelines to new
 contributors before they scatter piles of bad translations all over the
 place. Because there can be quite a long delay before an editor spots
 them, and in the meantime they will have done some damage.
 If ever an email is not feasible, a welcome popup on Translate would be
 another solution. But still allowing the GTEs to edit the content as they
 can on the glossary.
