[wp-hackers] How to find translators

[Drew]

Hi David,

Recently, I've seen more and more plugin authors using Google Translate to
offer rough translations for say, the top 10 languages. Yeah, the
translations probably aren't pitch perfect, but it shows that you're making
an effort.

If a fluent speaker comes along later and wants to improve the translation,
that's great. You just want to make sure people can figure out how to get
in touch with you to do that. Win/Win.
