per1234 5eb2926407 Add a dedicated translator guide document
Translation of the strings of the Arduino IDE UI is a valuable contribution which helps to make Arduino accessible to
everyone around the world.

Localization of the Arduino-specific strings of the IDE is done in the "Arduino IDE 2.0" project on Transifex.
Previously, the "Translation" row in the contribution methods summary table in the contributor guide entry page simply
linked to that project.

Arduino IDE also uses localized strings from several other sources:

- VS Code language packs
- Arduino CLI

Users may notice unlocalized strings or errors or areas for improvement in the existing translations and wish to
contribute translations. For this reason, it is important to also provide instructions for contributing to those other
localization data sources. The contribution methods summary table can not effectively accommodate that additional
content so a dedicated document is added for the purpose. This will also allow linking directly to that document from
related documentation or conversations.
