Re: Guix website Czech translation

[Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu>]

In case you didn't see it, translation is performed on weblate, where anyone (such as yourself) can help with the translation: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/guix/website/cs/

If you don't want to modify Kryštof's work, you can still post suggestions or comments on the translation.

There's no review process currently, but weblate allows this kind of workflow. I don't really like it though, since I've already come across bad translations (non-sensical!) in French that had been validated and became impossible for me to modify.

The only review that I make is that the translation doesn't break the build process. Which it did, but I found and fixed the issue :)
