I am against adding those ourselves. We need the involvement of the
developer to make sure that the translation templates are up to date
and the translations are used. Of course: if the developers come up to
me now and say: hey, I want to get started, then sure. Feel free to
inform them of the possibility, but that's all that should come from
our side, IMO of course.
