Wonderful work!

Just some quick notes:

 - The description of the second screenshot ("Russian translation
progress of Ubuntu packages") is wrong... the screenshot says
"Esperanto"

 - There's a sentence before the "Dealing with unusual characters"
setion that looks truncated:
"If you find a string that hasn't been translated or that you are
certain has been translated incorrectly, you should "

 - Is it possibile to add, at the beginnig when explaining how to find
the team to speak to, that, if a project does not have a translation
group associated, it's always good to keep in touch with Ubuntu's
translation groups, that most of the time act as a counterpart of the
upstream translation groups? (And maybe link to the groups page [1] in
LP.)

 - Typos for "shortcut", in two places there's written "shorcut"

Not part of the UI itself, but probably useful to talk about: how
launchpad handle thinks like new-lines (\n), tabs and the "blue-points"
representation for spaces and what you're supposed to do (it's written
in the UI, but better say it twice...).

Cheers.

PS: BTW, there's a really nice feature in moinmoin 1.7 for notes,
warnings and so on: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnAdmonitions
