Description
Problem
The way we construct the help text on the submission start page, it does not play nicely with German word order:
The German translation for the first bit includes {Title} which is not the right syntax for a Django template:
Proposed solution
Rewrite this markup so that there is one translatable string, using blocktrans, and containing a one-word variable for the article title.

Research direction
Start with src/templates/admin/submission/start.html at the linked markup and compare it with the German entry in src/core/locales/de/LC_MESSAGES/django.po. Check Django's blocktrans syntax and the existing translation format. Done means the submission start help text is one translatable string with a one-word article-title variable that supports German word order.
