[Translators-l] FDC Elections Banner Translations

Hey all,

If you have time I'd really appreciate some quick translations on the
banners that will run for the FDC Election tomorrow (2, the committee is
testing different language to see which works better). You can find them at
the 2 links below. Unfortunately the translation system is a little buggy
at the moment and the normal way to publish the translations (using the
state dropdown) doesn't work. I spent a good portion of the night trying to
find an alternative and for now I have one and will be keeping an eye on
the languages coming in and publishing them through the API. I'm going to
try and roll it out a bit slowly (starting at 00:00 UTC when the election
starts) but eventually we'll need to turn it on for everyone given the
short election (1 week) and so the more we can get in advance the better.
