Yes, you are correct. It's my fault to use the ATM term in the registration form. I should use "interbank transaction".
Sorry for the misleading and my apologize.

- What is ATM way of payment? Is it a Money order?
I think it's a wrong translation, ATM is the Cash Machine, so ATM meant credit card working only with cash machine and not
for paiment,
ATM stands for "Auto-teller maschine", cash machine of bank, credit card company etc. For ongoing Japanese version I didn't translate it literally, but "Interbank transaction"; it simply means you can send your fee to a certain Taiwan Bank account directly (with their account number), and you can do so not only via ATM (perhasp international bank transaction is hard on ATM), but also with a teller who sit on your bank's counter...

I hope not to reproduce too many of the questions/comments that were said before, but here are mine:
==Personal identification data==
Please fill your personal data in the form correctly. This information will be used for the City Tour and insurance. [A citizen of Republic of China, Taiwan ]
[Yes, I am. (Please type your national identification number and your Chinese name in the following fields)] *This is not very clear to me. But maybe it makes more sense in Chinese ;-)
[No, I'm not. (Please type your passport number and your name on the passport in the following fields)] OK
[Chinese name / Name on passport : ] *'''Believe me you REALLY want this to be {first name} and {last name} otherwise the sorting of the database is impossible.'''
[Sex Male Female Other: ] *I would change this empty field 'other' to "decline to state" or something along those lines, or you're gonna get a lot of "superjet" and "tree" or something.
[ID / Passport number] OK [Country / Region ] [City ] *It is not AT ALL clear what "country/Region/City you want here. Case in point. I am French, I live in Germany. My passport was issued in France, Paris, but I live in Frankfurt, Germany. So you have to be much more precise.
Other thing, you will need much more passport information for people who need a visa, you might as well collect this information there.
I would put the following:
Name as it appears on passport: [First name] [last name] [ID/Passport number] [Nationality as it appears on passport] (here a choice field for countries) [Passport issued in (city)] ??? -- not sure if this is the info you need here. [Birthday A.D.] Agree with everything that's been said. change to birthdate and get rid of the A.D.
If you need a visa, we thank you for also filling in the following
information, so that we can issue the invitation letter: [Passport issued in (country)] [on (date of issue)]
[Linguistic abilities] I think this part should come at the bottom, not at the beginning.
[Wikimedia project and e-mail account(s)] This should be right after the personal info.
* Your e-mail information will be used for registration and urgent notification on Wikimania 2007 only.] (add something like: please make sure to enter an email that works and that you check regularly
[Wikimedia project account @ . .org] (add something like: this information will be used to print your badge) [Your e-mail ]
You need to add a field that allows people to have their badge printed with ONLY their nickname, and not their name, right here. [Please use only my Username in the projects to print my badge] [checkbox] (ah, darn, I just realized the badge information was later on. It is not very logical, put it rather with the name/username info)
That's all for now. I'll see for the rest.
