Added criteria
- 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.
- Abbreviations are not allowed for this challenge.
- Letter counter for submissions: https://jsfiddle.net/2ermv0rh/2/

- Translations:
- - must be welcoming, ideally using common phrasing for the target language
- - do not need to refer to the community explicitly by name, as long as they adequately describe the community as one for the study of language
- - do not need to include redundant details (E.g. if you write "Study of language", that automatically would include "Study of language constructs")
- 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.
