 ### Translations
 
 It is now possible to translate the [OpenRefine docs](https://docs.openrefine.org/) via the
 Crowdin platform:
 
-https://crowdin.com/project/openrefine
+<https://crowdin.com/project/openrefine>
 
 Unfortunately, unlike Weblate, we need to manually invite anyone who
 wants to contribute translations. Feel free to request an invite by emailing us at openrefine-dev@googlegroups.com
 We can also add languages, depending on interest.
 
-Your translations will not be immediately published on https://docs.openrefine.org, it will take a few days (at the next commit on the master branch) and the translated pages will first appear under https://docs.openrefine.org/next/ (the documentation for the development version).

 When we publish a version, the translations for that version, we will take a snapshot of the translations during that time.
 We will trial this process for 3.5.
