It is supposed to render as "$10 million" (the "‍" is just to avoid problems with the syntax of the Translate extension and later on the JavaScript in the CentralNotice).
In the translation, feel free to change it to a different wording that describes ten million US dollars. Or actually to convert that amount to a local currency yourself - although that may not make sense in all languages, as for many of them have a substantial amount of readers in several countries, so that there would be several possible local currencies.

Query on message "Help decide about more than $‍10 million of Wikimedia donations"
How is "$‍10 million" rendered? If it appears with a localised currency symbol, does the computer know how to convert $10 to the local currency?

Hi all,
the CentralNotice with the "last call" reminder for those Wikimedians who are considering to volunteer on the new Funds Dissemination Committee is going live shortly, and although it will include a link to the translation page (and only be displayed to logged-in users), and the linked nominations page is unfortunately English-only, it would be great to have at least some of the larger languages available from the start:

Note: I considered sending this out to via an all-languages translation notification too, but was hesitant to do so because it is a really short text and a short term matter (nominations close August 15, so many translators might find this notification on their talk page only after it has become obsolete), and I think we need to be a bit careful with the new system so as not to have people feel spammed and sign off. I'd be interested in opinions though whether any and all translations should be sent through the notification system.
