I might even expand the wording a bit further - perhaps something like:

"It would be good to send a message to the list telling that you are 
starting, to avoid anyone thinking that you have abandoned the effort 
due to a lack of co-workers."

I also find the Tip below the Note a little awkward, as you are advising 
someone to send a message to a list that didn't reply to their first 
message.  Maybe the above sentence could be moved from the Note to the 
Tip (or just a second paragraph in Note and drop the Tip) such as:

"If you do start a new translation, you can be added to the language 
team page.  To do so, send a message to the kde-i18n-doc mailing list.  
This will serve the added purpose of letting the team know you have 
started, and avoid anyone thinking that you have abandoned the effort 
due to a lack of co-workers."
