[Translators-l] TOU notice

[Benjamin Chen]

I don't think using the translate extension is good for centralauth
translation.

1) Old method is much easier to track modification to already-published
translation.

2) For language with a lot of varients, say Chinese, we usually have zh-cn
zh-hans zh-sg zh-my being identical, and zh zh-hant zh-hk zh-tw zh-mo being
identical. Putting them on seperate pages not only waste resources and
energy, but also makes it harder to sync - one may only update zh-hant and
forget about the rest.

Best regards,
