+Please follow these suggested guidlines when translating Tilde doc's: 
+
+This will sound like gobbledygook if you don't know git, but I'm putting it
+here as a placeholder.
+
+I would suggest linking translations to the specific github commit that
+they are translating (Just by adding a line with a link to the specific
+commit on Github.)
+This means that updating translations can be as simple as:
+
+1) Diffing the "current" FAQ from the version linked by the translation to
+see what changed.
+2) Translating/updating just the parts that changed.
+3) Updating the "based on revision [LINK]" at the top of the translated FAQ
+
+Thus even if things go out of sync it will be very clear what went out of
+sync. And it becomes very apparent to a volunteer what needs to be done
+next.
+
+This process can be documented more intelligently than I have done here
+inside the FAQ itself, in time, if it is adopted.
