Translation request template
I'm not sure I think it's either effective or appropriate to place a translation request (template) at the top of a content or help page. There are several issues that we need to think through together:


 * Is it appropriate to invite discussion about a translation request on an article's talk page. (It seems to me that the conversation for a page should be about the content of that page, not about whether someone has an interest in translating that page for another wiki.)
 * Is this the right audience for that kind of request for help?
 * From a content quality perspective, do we really want large, colorful (distracting) pleas for help mixed with real information?
