[Translators-l] New system for notifying translators, and two new requests

[Benjamin Chen]

Great!
Just one tiny bit of suggestion - after you submit, there is no indication
that the submission is successful and the page remains unchanged. A bit
unfriendly there. Who should I tell about this? Thanks!
Best regards,
