1. I think it does not make sense to translate some parts for "Rates",
but others don't.
2. The question, if text in "Rates" should be translated or not, is not
the scope of this patch. The goal is: should the people, who request to
be added to the consultants list, provide the information for "Rates" in
English or in other language. (If we translate it afterwards or not is
irrelevant for those people.)
3. We will see, if someone volunteers for those improvements. As long as
such are not implemented, they should not be considered in text on the website.
If I remember how much people were interested in the consultants list in the
past, I would not bet on that to happen.
4. Remember the manpower available for the maintenance of the consultants list.
Don't put additional burden on that job.
