Sorry I did processed your request earlier.
I like most of your changes except a few ones that I'm commenting here.
-<p>You want to make it easier to use Tails in your own language.
-Welcome aboard!</p>
+<p>Willing to make using Tails easier in your own language ?
+Welcome aboard !</p>
English usually do not put spaces before terminal punctuation mark. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Spacing.
-If you are a native speaker of one of the languages available on this
website,
-you can work on correcting, improving or completing the translations
that are
-already available in Tails.
+If you are a native speaker of one of the languages available shipped
in Tails
+and/or on this website, you can work on correcting, improving or completing
+the translations that are already available in Tails.
I'd rather avoid the ‘and/or’ construction. It can be ambiguous, and can
be replaced by pain English.
In this case I only mentioned the languages available on the website as
a shortcut for ‘the languages we officially support’. Since Tails
includes all the other Debian translation, we don't want to mean ‘all
the languages that you can choose in Tails greeter’. I know some custom
programs are translated in languages that are not on the website. I
thought it was all right not to mention them.
-important deadlines arrives, etc.
+a major deadline comes out, etc.
I did a grammatical mistake but it's actually more common to say ‘a
deadline arrives’. See
