Yep, that's clearly Spanish. Unfortunately, I don't know Asturian to be able to translate it appropriately...

No, that could be Asturian (I don't know it, so I cannot confirm that)... albeit the rest of page is in perfect Spanish, which I do speak natively. Reading the page in more detail, only the tagline is translated, as well as a few other words, such as "ye" after "La Fundación Wikimedia", but entire sections of text are not. However, I do believe that the reason could be that the translators were translating the Spanish page to Asturian, as you suggested. This diff does suggest that: http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Donativos&diff=next&am… 3719. Considering, though, that the translation edit was made only today, I guess that we can cut them some slack... ;) Titoxd. -----Original Message----- From: foundation-l-bounces(a)wikimedia.org [mailto:foundation-l-bounces@wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Damian Finol Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 3:44 PM To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Asturian page for Donations is in Spanish Titoxd@Wikimedia wrote: able Hello, Yes, it's in spanish, albeit a weird spanish 'Formes de donar' instead of 'Formas de donar' and "Imaxina un mundu nel cual cada persona tien accesu gratuitu a la suma de too'l conocimientu humanu.

Just fact-checking. After I read this inquiry, I moved the latest version on meta to the foundation website. Of course, I am not sure if it is the best version, as non-Spanish speaker, however, it seemed more Asturian ... And anyway, translation isn't going on the foundation website, but on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMFnews For fundraising pages, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Fundraising_pages As Titoxd supposed, the first two versions of "Asturian"-oriented are indeed Spanish. A native Spanish edited those versions, supposedly from the reason of closer familiarity between Spanish and Asturian. Later a ast-3/es-n editor made correction, and that version was what I moved to, and what you see on the website. Has any editor recommendation for fixing that? He or she can start his work immediately at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Fundraising_pages/D… Cheers, On 9/27/06, Titoxd@Wikimedia <titoxd.wikimedia(a)gmail.com> wrote:
