Thanks for volunteering to do this!

I'd propose using the existing copy; anything else would introduce more
delay and cause the new site to launch with less translation available.
The community (and me because I get lots of source string clarification
questions) have put a lot of effort into the translations already. The
Spanish translations are complete; the French one has excellent (82%
website; 97% overall) coverage.

Whatever technology we use - be it through you or someone for hire - I'd
like to be sure it has support for localization in a way that makes it
easy for translators to contribute. Being a Ruby thing, it looks like
Jekyll uses YAML, which Transifex supports. Failing that, perhaps one of
the formats Pontoon supports? [1][2]
