 Translations
 ------------
 
-Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to
-[Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/).
+We only accept translation fixes that are submitted through [Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/).
+Translations are converted to Litecoin periodically.
 
 Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the
 [translation process](doc/translation_process.md) for details on how this works.
 
 **Important**: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next
 pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
