I became convinced that we (Guix) could just get files from the Web
translators and patch occurrences of <code>.  Really a hack, but it’s
probably less intrusive for the rest of us.

I was planning to email the TP coordinator to work out the details of
the coordination process with the GNU web translators, but I haven’t yet
taken the time to do it.

Thanks,
