I've drafted sample translation-golf challenge post, and am planning on posting it on Saturday (if no one objects). Feel free to suggest any changes you might want to make.

<blockquote>

In an effort to drum up activity (given we haven't had any in over a week),  I present the first translation golf!

Before entering, please read [the ground rules](https://languages.codidact.com/posts/280844#answer-280844). The aim of the game is to translate a given text using as few characters as possible.

-----

The first text is quite simple, it's the welcome text for our community.

> Welcome to Languages & Linguistics, our community for anyone interested in specific (human) languages, language and its constructs more generally, or linguistics. 

As the community is still small, **any target language is allowed** (including English! Try to shrink the text). Translations will compete within the same language, just like code golf. 

Letter counter for submissions: https://jsfiddle.net/2ermv0rh/2/
