The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Ralph Ballier <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I have understood that much by now. However, I believe that these 
translations only affect the fixed strings of Sympa. In that case, it’s 
just a matter of translating one string after another.

But my problem is a different one. I want to completely redesign the 
welcome message (and other messages) for list members. These are strings 
that don’t yet exist in Sympa.

I can also ask the question differently: Currently, new list members 
receive a welcome email in German. How can I change this text?

Regards,

Ralph
