Hi all,<div>I have a question and a suggestion</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Firstly, I wondered whether this year the Gift Certificate (shown after a completed donation) shall be translatable and remade with a nicer design this year?</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; white-space: pre-wrap;">Secondly, I think we should change the message stating that you shall receive a receipt of your donation to note specifically (if I am not mistaken) that this receipt comes from PayPal [and thus one should not wait for any mails from the WMF directly].</span></div>

Ikuko, you are welcome :)<br>
<br>
There are translation teams in several languages (see<br>
<a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_teams" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_teams</a> you may find other<br>
teams like Arabic, Chinese ...) but there are not all of many<br>
languages which are empowered by multiple translators. There are many<br>
languages without such pages but still collaborating.<br>
<br>
If you feel working alone in your language, you could try to<br>
communicate other translators<br>
<br>
* via IRC [1]<br>
* via skype [2]<br>
* via Babylon noticeboard [3]<br>
<br>
And of course on this mailing list.<br>
