I got a similar question from a supposedly Japanese reader who is in
Australia, which has its own chapter. She misunderstood WMF didn't
offer Japanese landing page and kindly offer to volunteer
translations. :D

Yeah, I know, but the URL would give us lots of details... see this
one for example, which came from clicking on a yiwikipedia banner:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=WMFJA1/yi&utm_source=2…
When you give us that, I can see automatically what landing page you
reached, what banner you clicked on, and what wiki page you were on.
And what country the url decided you were in... that's the other critical
bit of info in the url.
Casey's quite right - these are critical for troubleshooting.
Is there any change or fix of this issue? If someone is in a foreign
country with a chapter, there is no other mean but their one local
language page? One local language I say because this year no lang menu
seems not be given, and it's a trouble for those who wants to switch
the lang. I'm also afraid it would be a problem in multiligual nations
like CH.
It's no criticism, just a description. I just want a summary of the
situation to give an answer to that kind lady in Australia which we at
OTRS got last week.
Cheers,
Not a single fragment of the Yiddish translation of the fundraiser appears
anywhere.
Hmm, I see Yiddish banners on yiwiki *and* I reach a Yiddish language
page... so your translations *have* been published. I'm not sure what
issue you're running into. I remember seeing that you were in England
somewhere, so maybe the issue is that you're getting redirected to the
Wikimedia UK landing page, so you don't see the Yiddish Wikimedia
Foundation donat page?
This is where the URL would come in handy. :-)
Yep. We've published a lot of Yiddish, so the URL would be critical.
