[Webcom] More on translation

A cold is a good moment to put away the code and dedicate a little time 
to translations [1].

neither me.
I've appreciated Arnulf effort to sign which pages have been changed in 
the wiki [2].
But I think it's not easy to see "*please re-check!*" and then go and 
try to see what has changed and translate it again.
Sponsor Page has very poor text so it is not a problem itself,  but 
pages with a lot of text inside will be an issue.

I can suggest the idea to offer text diff as we make with code for 
patches, but sounds really weird.

So we can go just like this until translators critical mass will be 
consistent and then reconsider the problem.

ciao
Lorenzo
