Ok, all projects and languages are now showing the fundraising site notice.
These'll still be showing Engliah for a lot of languages, since not all
translations are in for the initial version, but hopefully we can get
them cleaned up soon. :)
Pop by
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2007/Text_for_sitenotice and
friend pages to pitch in on getting the translations up. Note that the
centralized translations apply to all sites; including Commons using you
selected language preference.
Please pass this on to interested parties on all wikis...
We've also got subtitled versions of Jimmy's video up in several
languages. We can build more based on the translated transcripts you
guys are providing:

Hey all,
The fundraising notice, after some tweaks and fixes, is now enabled on
Meta, Commons, and all English-language projects. We're gearing up to
enable it on other languages, but don't want to be throwing too much
English text at people.
Translations for the notice are more centralized this year for a couple
reasons:
* All projects will get the localized texts (including multilingual
projects like Commons)
* Changes will update more quickly -- we had caching problems before
where some people saw old text or no text days after it was changed. The
new system updates within a few minutes.
Currently a meta admin is required to take the updates live, and a
developer has to enable the notice for a particular site or language.
I'm hoping to clean up that process over the coming days, though.
The headline text on the site notice is available for translation at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2007/Text_for_sitenotice
There are a lot of translations for the text that we'll switch in
_later_ to go with the landing page under development:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2007/Landing_page/Translations
but we need updates for the *current* text in a lot of languages.
Please test out the site notice as it appears on your wikis like this:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/?sitenotice=yeshttp://zh.wikibooks.org/wiki/?sitenotice=yes
etc
Let me know if your community's ready to turn it on as is.
We're also going to want to see updates for the donation forms. The old
ones on http://wikimediafoundation.org still work, though we're trying
to transition to new ones on http://donate.wikimedia.org/
There's a translation system for that new site which we can set up
accounts for, but I'm not 100% sure how to go about all that yet. :)
It's a learning experience.
We're also trying to get subtitled versions of the video with Jimmy up
within the next few days. Subtitle files in .srt format are preferred; I
can recode the videos from them and upload the new versions as they
become available.

The little sidenotes were somehow omitted from the earlier request for
translation. But nevertheless important See

Hello,
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising_FAQ
This FAQ has already been translated into de:, es:, fr:, ja:, it:, hu:, nl:,
tr: and zh:. Translations into other languages are needed, especially for
the bigger wikis (pl:, ru:, ko:, pt:, and so on...).
The fundraising will start in two days, 22/10/2007. Yes, two days... so if
you can start working on this (relatively short) page, it would be nice...

As I said, I am sending out the single requests for single languages
that still need translating for the Fundraiser 2007.
The above combination is valid for this text:

Please just copy and paste the sourcetext to the page that opens by
clicking on the red language link and overwrite it in your language.
Thanks for helping out.
