Hi all,I have a question and a suggestion
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?
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].

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