[Trisquel-translators] Improving translation efforts. Proposal for processes and better organization

[Morne Alberts]

Hi all

I created an initial wiki page with the goal of explaining the
translation process: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-translate-website.

It is in a very rough state. It should get screenshots and probably be
cleaned up. I don't have the time to do any more work on that wiki page
so I will leave that as it is now.

Let me know if you have any suggestions of how to expand that page. Or
if you need any clarifications. For example, what would you as a "new
translator" want to see to make this process easier? Or even better, if
anyone wants to add to that page or explain it in more detail, go for it.

Just don't translate that wiki page now. Once the page is better and has
more content that page should also be translated.
