You can't deal with this as a translator, it needs to be fixed in the
CKAN code, ckan/templates/home/index.html contains:

    <h1 class="page_heading">Welcome to ${g.site_title}!</h1>

which means that just "Welcome to" ends up in the ckan.po files for
translation. That needs to be changed. I've made a ticket for this but
unfortunately it's too late for CKAN 1.8, it'll be done for 1.8.1:

In the meantime, if you want to correct this problem on your own website
using CKAN 1.8, you can do so by overriding the template file. You would
first set extra_template_paths in your config file:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.8/theming.html#adding-and-overriding-files-and-templates

then you would copy the ckan/templates/home/index.html file to the
corresponding location in your custom templates directory, e.g.
my-templates/home/index.html, then modify your copy of the
home/index.html file and change the "Welcome to ${g.site_title}!" line
to whatever you want.
