Description
Hi, following the translation of the whole service in french, we now suggest that the challenge/projects themselves could be translated.
Indeed, there is very few projects in french, so for a beginer it means that most of the challenges (including the vital instructions) are not filtered nor translated, leading to a poor UX.
See below the missing translation for this example https://maproulette.org/challenge/21827/task/105985939
Therefore we suggest you add the wording contributed while creating a challenge to Transifex so we can translate them too.

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing how challenge and project wording is collected during creation and how existing service translations reach the frontend, then identify the Transifex integration point. Done means contributor-provided challenge text can be added for translation and translated wording appears in the challenge and task experience.
