Dear anyone who knows the answer,
I have a question on the SMshare section of the translation of the 2010 fundraiser. It is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/SMshare. There is a hashtag which is part of a sentence there - "I just donated to #Wikipedia." Apparently we shouldn't translate the hashtag. What happens if Wikipedia is spelt differently in your language, or is written in a non-Roman script?
Yours sincerely, Eleri James
I was wondering the same, but I decided to translate Wikipedia and separate the hashtag. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/SMshare/bg Regards, Vassia

Vassia is correct. The hashtag is universal for social media.
