[Translators-l] Picture of the Year site notices

[Béria Lima]

Eleri, actually I send a message to this list in November to ask for
translations, also a sitenotice asked people to contribute with
translations for almost a full month in Commons. The logic in the central
notice is: You get the message in your language, if that doesnt exist, in
english. Geo tagging doesn't play any part in it.
