MediaWiki messages can be edited only by sysops.
Besides that, * I'm not sure there was any particular localization attempt for MediaWiki:Supportus on the foundation website. Maybe it relies on default settings. * I am not sure either if it is wise to reflect the change for all languages on the website: for example, in case of Japanese: a superative may sounds too much offensive. It doesn't sound begging, just demanding. I would like to know what you mean here with "need to be reflected". * "Be reflected for all languages" is ideal but tough request. Around 30 languages are used, if we include Fundraising pages themselves. I am not sure if it makes a sense the toolbox begs when the potential donor has already found the form for donation though. Could you please refine your requests, Cary? ** Other concerns ... about fundarising pages. There are around 30 fundraising pages, and they are not in a same style. Due to the last year renewal, some were changed, some were not. And I think I heard there would be another renewal ... will it happen? If so, I think it isn't nice for translators to be asked to catch the trend now (just before it'll be cast away again). If not ... we need to call for translators to catch up changes. Also I would like to note there were requests to retrieve "monthly donation" button via PayPal. It was removed in the last year renewal. I have no idea how it can be back, though.
Sabine, Cary, is there any update about fundarising page re-design?

In spanish, "donate" can be translated as "dona", but I feel it's not very used, I prefer "realiza una donaciĆ³n", but may be long for a message.
Drini?
