Translation process description update

[magul]

Since I remember we do not follow onboarding of new translators described in a README.md.

I don't know if anybody actively monitors [email protected]. I believe not, as @PluckyPrecious wrote:

I’ve sent series of mail in regards to the resource below point_down , and got no response.

I also know, that:

• you can freely join Crowdin project and become a translator, so there's no need to approve of any kind here,
• we used to start new translations based on GitHub issues (for reference see: Add Hindi As language here tutorial#1656, Azerbaycan tutorial#1626, Translation :Urdu Language  tutorial#1507, Add "Dhivehi" Maldivain Language  tutorial#1505, arabe tutorial#1479),
• current unwritten policy (that I follow as self-claimed steward of Crowdin -> GitHub syncing) is that we/I publish non-proofread translations with (beta) mark (otherwise we would not have them so many).

The topic was started by @PluckyPrecious in DjangoGirls/tutorial#1670.

Hiya @magul! I just wanted to pop in here to say that I check the translations email but probably not as often as I should. We get about 4 emails every few months at that address. So once a month or so I will go in and reply to all if we have any emails. Thanks for bringing it up!

I would love to update the process and add some automation! When new people want to join the translation project, I check if the project exists, if it doesn't I create it and provide an invite link to join the project.

Hey @RachellCalhoun, when you say

I check if the project exists

what do you mean? Do you mean a new language on Crowdin? We can probably stick to the GitHub issues here, they will be a lot more transparent and will allow everybody, that manage Crowdin project to add target language.

[RachellCalhoun]

Yes, when someone emails asking to join a project that is what I have done. I check on crowdin to see if the translation project for that language exists.

I agree transparency is better on github. I think this should probably be part of the larger conversation about the process for onboarding new people.
