 Add a new language
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-A user with weblate admin rights must visit the `Weblate translation
-creation page`_ and the `Weblate desktop translation creation page`_
-to add a new language.
-
-SecureDrop only supports a subset of all the languages being worked on
-in `Weblate`_: some of them are partially translated or not fully
-reviewed. The list of fully supported languages is hard-coded in the
-``i18n_tool.py`` file, in the ``SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES`` variable. When a
-new language is completely translated and reviewed, the
-``i18n_tool.py`` file must be manually edited to add this new language
-to the ``SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES`` variable.
