    <li>We try to accept tanslations for a given language only from a single person, the person we are most familiar with getting translations from. If you feel a translation is wrong, produces strings that are too long, or is badly out of date, contact the existing translator first. Work with him or her if possible. If this is not possible, mention this to us as you submit your patch or new translation.</li>
    <li>Translations to new languages are always welcome.
