Here is an example of how the default text on fresh installations can help out those new to the project.

I am aware that this sort of text should be in documentation, though it may help when it's "really in peoples faces".

Something similar can be done for the Information links (privacy, shipping, ..).

Here is a screenshot of the example, with the text made smaller for the purpose of the screenshot (so it fits on one screen):

The only downside is the fairly long TEXT_MAIN definition that has to be edited.

It would be good to hear the feedback on this, if it indeed should be the default text for all languages in the project.
