I think this request might be outdated already, with the suggestion made by Patrick?

Hi Translators,
We've had some difficulty with the text on the welcome screen, it's a combination of text and graphic and we'd really like to be able to have it translated. Originally we had the text included in the pot file but the technical limitations resulted in size and font issues.
To try and fix this situation I spent some time last week sorting out a way we could translate the strings, I've put together some instructions here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/blob/1.1.x/share/screens/TRANSLATING which go into how you would translate this text if you wanted to do it yourself. Be careful as the graphics and files are different between the master branch and the 1.1.x branch, translate only the 1.1.x branch
But this is extra work for translators. So as well as offering you the above instructions to type set the text for your language yourself into the welcome graphic, I'm going to put the text here and if you send me a response with your language's translation I'll put each into the welcome screen to make sure we get the most amount of translations for the 1.1 release.
I'm also interested in your feedback. This system is new, but I believe gives translators the greatest freedom to pick their own fonts and text location within the graphic. But I'm happy to remove it for 1.2 if it turns out to be too much work for translators. Please let me know!
The strings are:
"Welcome!" "Let's set up a few things..."

If you have any questions about this specific translation, email me. I'm responsible now for making sure this welcome screen is translated for Inkscape 1.1.
Thanks for your help everybody!
