It's the latter. When you approach the translation of this phrase, a documentation message that explains it will appear.

In translatewiki.net you need very little technical privileges. You just open an account, request "translator" right, and that's it. It's true that translations have to be refined often - both because the original messages (usually in English) are updated, and because translators sometimes make mistakes. Such refinement is going on in translatewiki.net all the time. We *always* need more people in *all* languages to help translating. To have complete support for a language in Wikimedia projects, thousands of messages need to be translated, and the number is growing every day. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
