+ * Translations: Call for Proofreaders and Translators.
+  - Localisation of the UI has always been a community effort.
+    Recently we found several examples of vandalism and malicious behaviour
+    among the translated strings, including multiple bitcoin addresses
+    injected into UI strings. One user sent funds to one such address
+    and hence lost money. (see spesmilo/electrum-locale#46)
+  - We added some automated safeguards to try and prevent this in the future,
+    including basic regexes and an LLM proofreader. We also made the ongoing
+    git diffs for updating the frozen translations much smaller to make it
+    realistic to ~review. (see spesmilo/electrum-locale#47, #49, #51)
+  - However, the best solution would be per-language human review.
+    If we had 1-3 proofreaders per language on Crowdin, we could restrict
+    the set of translated strings that gets included in the binaries to the
+    "proofreader-approved" strings. We ask interested people to start contributing
+    and apply to be proofreaders. To get proofreader permissions, send us an email
+    or come to irc, with your crowdin username and some proof of work (such as
+    activity on crowdin in our or another project, contributions to open-source,
+    having an established identity on github/bitcointalk/stackoverflow/...,
+    having met us in person, etc -- just prove being a human and being well-intentioned).
