Re "Help translate", see also T93782

Thank you for pointing that out. I had not yet double checked the list - but went ahead and removed this one. :)

Thank you!

Re "Help translate", see also T93782

Looking into it more - correct me if I am wrong - but it looks like "please-translate" outputs as "Please help translate to your language" - perhaps "Help translate" (which I have run into as a table header so shorter is better) can be setup as please-translate-short?

Sure, that works. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the existing message that you might be duplicating.
