I am not a lawyer, I don't set policy around here, and I understand that 
none of us really guarantees anything; however, I don't think it's 
reasonable to accept content from a submitter unless he is willing to 
put his own reputation on the line for it.

If in your own eyes you are not competent to judge the quality of the 
work, and if there is no mentor to guide you and "co-sign," it would be 
best if you did not submit it.

Nobody needs another hel-arabic.ly.

Having said that, I do think that machine translations could help a lot 
of people as a separate project with clearly presented goals and caveats.
