closes openstreetmap#9562 (problem reported there is gone, but Transifex got again more hostile toward volunteer open source, now it always asks about "business email")
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Pull request overview
Updates the contributor documentation to clarify how to register for Transifex to translate iD, addressing the newer “business email” friction reported in #9562.
Changes:
- Adjusts the “Translating” section to recommend using the “Join This Project” link for registration.
- Notes that the registration form asks for a “business email” and adds guidance about using a non-business email.
- Warns that signing up via the Transifex home page may prevent account creation.

The wording here is grammatically incorrect and a bit ambiguous (e.g., “you may provide regular one”, “the Transifex's home page”). Please rephrase to use correct articles/possessive and clearly state that a non-business email address is acceptable when joining via the project link.

There is trailing whitespace at the end of this line (after “create an”). Please remove it; it can cause noisy diffs and some Markdown linters will flag it.
