Thanks Casey, and I have a question for you:<br><br>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Special</span> section, I see "left quote" and "right quote". I assume that the software that is using these messages laters, knows that a "left quote" appears first in LTR languages, but appears last RTL ones. If it doesn't, either it should be considered in the software, or the "left/right quote" pair should be changed to "starting quote" and "ending quote".<br>

Hey!<br> <br> There was a small update to the translation source[1] that needs to be<br> reflected across the other language versions (I've already updated the<br> language sources, so you should just have to translate what's in<br>
English on that page).<br> <br> A few people have asked what the "Special" section means and if that<br> should be translated. What it is is that you update it with the<br> information specific to your language. For example, French is mostly<br>
spoken in France, so they might want the default currency to EUR/€.<br> Also, for things like the "Jimmy quote" that was used last year[2] we<br> will need to use "quotes". Some languages do not use the standard<br>
English quotes, so we would like to support them. To go again with<br> the French example, we would mark that they use « for the left quotes<br> and » for the right quote.<br> <br> You also have the option of updating the default amounts. For<br>
example, the defaults of "30", "75", and "100" would not work at all<br> for Yen/¥... it would be very strange to see that. :-)<br> <br> Thanks for all your hard work so far in translating the fundraiser<br>
items! Sorry about the small change to the source! :-(<br> <br> [1]<a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fundraising_2008%2Fcore_messages%2Fen&diff=1249752&oldid=1243062">http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fundraising_2008%2Fcore_messages%2Fen&diff=1249752&oldid=1243062</a><br>
