+* The branch you are make the pull request from (in your own fork) must
+  have a unique and descriptive name. Do not make a pull request

+* If you are submitting translation files, only submit the files that
+  you have added translations to, not the other .ts files that may have
+  been updated in the process.
+* Make sure your contributions follow the style guide and other
+  requirements mentioned in the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repository.
