Current state for Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian Wikipedias:
- Banner leads to the page in German of Wikimedia chapter Germany
- Link "Donate" in sidebar leads to the "GERMAN!" version of Jimmy's appeal
- The new banner has German text.
Again, this is because Wikimedia Deutschland has fundraising powers in Germany, so you are getting WMDE's banners. (They're currently running an appeal from Pavel, which has banners that are just in German.)
If you want to see if you can translate those banners and pages into hsb and dsb, you'll have to ask WMDE, unfortunately.
These three points reduce translation of fundraiser texts for minority languages to absurdity! My translations appear *nowhere*.
I'm sorry it feels this way, but, again, your translations *are* published: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WMFJA1/hsb / http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WMFJA1/dsb
If you were not in Germany, you *would* see your translations and you would see what I see: http://hsb.wikipedia.org/?country=US / http://dsb.wikipedia.org/?country=US. If you were someone living in the part of Lusatia in Poland, or you were in the United States, you would see your translation.
Why is not linked to site
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate/Now/hsb
as in the last years?
That's last year's donation page, not this year's.
That's a good survey of fundraiser.
