Great. That was needed.

Just two comments on your modifications:

1. Why did you remove the part on “For English native speakers”?

2. The sentence « The translation system used by both the custom
programs and the website is called gettext. Every sentence that needs to
be translated is written in a PO file. » makes sense even for Transifex,
the same applies to the list of things that need to be translated. Why
did you removed them from the introductory part “Translating Tails”
