Hi,<br><br>Today, I went to download WordPress and it told me it is also available in Tamil.

<br></div><div>It was briefly(week or two) done in 2011 Jan (infact some nice graphic banners) post fundraising along with Thank you banners. We have 10 months (non-fundraiser ones) and we can display this banner all along, but question would it help and is it non-controversial?, who are the ones who could decide on such a high impact sitenotice based on geolocation, this list?, meta admins?, English wikipedians of India? Though there is nothing wrong with intent, keeping banners for long needs some consensus.</div>
