Requesting information to continue translating Kaidan

Hello there

I got notified from the announcement e-mail from Kaidan's Weblate:
> Thank you all for the many translations over the years. Kaidan has now moved
> to the KDE translation system.
>
> If you'd like to continue to support us, we'd be happy to welcome you as a KDE
> translator: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/translation

I'm a translator for Kaidan in Weblate, where I'm translating to Malay
(code: ms)
and Malay (Jawi) (code: ms at Arab). The text on both are the same, just
in different
writing scripts (one in Rumi Malay / Latin, the other in Jawi Malay /
Arabic). This is
to cater to everyone who use Malay language regardless where they are from
(Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and
other places)
since people do use both writing scripts in real life including legal documents,
schools, and public signage board (eg. road name, advertisement billboard)
especially in the Northern and East Coast states of Malaysia, in Brunei, in the
Southern provinces of Thailand such as Pattani and Satun, and in Riau Indonesia.

Since I've never used the KDE translation system and KDE as a whole, may I know:
1. What are the steps to create an account for translation?
2. Is there a web interface for the actual translation?
3. How do I get automated updates on untranslated strings?

The previous workflow in Weblate was that I got e-mail every time there's new
untranslated strings, then I logged into Weblate using GitLab sign-in
and navigated
to the untranslated strings to translate them.

When I got to the page linked above (Get Involved / translation), I
couldn't find
the actual button to sign up, instead it just had a bunch of text to
contact others.
While it did say to contact the specific team for my language, there's no e-mail
listed when I went to the Malay team page:
https://l10n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=ms

Hence, I need proper guidance on how to rejoin the translation on the KDE
translation system being moved from the previous Weblate translation instance.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Yaya MNH48
