What is the current behavior?

Visit any translation of any docs.github.com page, e.g.: https://docs.github.com/pt/code-security/supply-chain-security/keeping-your-dependencies-updated-automatically/upgrading-from-dependabotcom-to-github-native-dependabot

Scroll to the bottom, and read:

What changes are you suggesting?

Suppress the blurb about making contributions on translation pages.

It goes against the current text in: https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#earth_asia-translations

Additional information

Admittedly, people don't appear to be trying to follow the text, since they manage to ask questions in github.community, but even so, why not direct them to the correct answer directly instead?

n.b. the "Learn how to contribute" link could probably stay, but the paragraph and button above it should go.

@jsoref Thanks for opening this issue. We are looking into it 👍

@jsoref I spoke with the team and we are not interested in this suggestion as many people speak multiple languages and their contributions are valuable.
