I mentioned that [default categories/topics are always in English even if another interface language is selected](https://meta.discourse.org/t/default-categories-topics-in-english-despite-german-as-default-language-in-setup-wizard/54775) and @gerhard pointed out that this content gets created when Discourse is started first.

Now I noticed that some of the generated content in the staff category is not available in Transifex, namely

1. _Assets for the site design_

- ❌ Title is [hardcoded](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/bd217bb440367ba20f7e176ad02ef044e74603f9/db/fixtures/999_topics.rb#L43).
- ✅ Body is in I18n.

1. _Welcome to Discourse_

- ❌ Title is [hardcoded](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/bd217bb440367ba20f7e176ad02ef044e74603f9/db/fixtures/999_topics.rb#L46).
- ❌ Content [comes from docs](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/d46b0a72518511e9d7e230e7076434b1ec1f4f57/docs/WELCOME-TO-DISCOURSE.md).

1. _READ ME FIRST: Admin Quick Start Guide_

- ❌ Title is [hardcoded](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/bd217bb440367ba20f7e176ad02ef044e74603f9/db/fixtures/999_topics.rb#L63).
- ❌ Content [comes from docs](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/d46b0a72518511e9d7e230e7076434b1ec1f4f57/docs/ADMIN-QUICK-START-GUIDE.md).

Any reason not to move this to I18n? Probably we should then remove the files `WELCOME-TO-DISCOURSE.md` and `ADMIN-QUICK-START-GUIDE.md` to avoid inconsistency, right?! I would be willing to provide a PR for this.

Also, the title of the _Uncategorized_ category seems hardcoded:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785/db/migrate/20131022045114_add_uncategorized_category.rb#L5>
