Ok, I changed the paragraph to:


## Translation teams

The number of words in the Emacs manuals is above 2,000,000 words and
growing. While one individual could theoretically translate all the
files, it is more practical to work in language teams.

If you have a small group of translators willing to help, make sure
that the files are properly reviewed before sending them to
emacs-devel (see above).

You are invited to refer to the translation-related documents that the
GNU Project maintains and to get in touch with your language's
translation team to learn from the practices they have developed over
the years.

See https://www.gnu.org/server/standards/README.translations.html for
more information.
