[geomoose-psc] [Geomoose-users] Add a language to GeoMoose

[TC Haddad]

Sounds good to me - users have probably translated into other languages
that we might not know about, because not everyone knows or needs to ask on
the list.

Maybe there is a place on the website where we can add a more visible call
for translations, with links to the steps, statement of terms and the
authors list?
