The version that should be translated is at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising on the Foundation wiki. Please do not rely on any old copies that may still be on Meta.
The big problem is that non-logged in users see an [Edit] tab for non-protected pages but when they click it, it takes them to a message saying that to edit they need to log-in. No page source is provided. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
I apologize for any confusion that has resulted over this.
So do I. But the whole new system was developed over the weekend so I haven't had time to do much documentation.
There are already four completed language versions of the fundraising page and I want to say thank you to Akl, Alex756, Anthere, Aphaia, Elian, Eloquence, Greudin, Kzhr, Paddy, Ryo, Sj, Suisui, Timwi, Tipiac, Tomos, Villy, and Yann for their work on these. Thanks also to Brion Vibber for making it technically possible to have these pages on the new Foundation wiki, and to Tim Starling and Looxix for their development work on that wiki. Finally, a very big thanks to Daniel Mayer for his extensive work on the fundraising pages and all the associated templates, and for agreeing to keep the fundraising bar up to date over the next two weeks.
Thank you. :) And a HUGE thank you to all the developers that helped create the template functionality in the first place. Variables are really neat!
For example, I just have to update http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:Fund_drive and that updates all copies in 4 different languages, each with their own translation.
Other example: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:DonationForm/Monthly/USD
+ http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Template:DonationForm/Monthly-en = http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising/USD/monthly via {{DonationForm/Monthly-en|CurrencyCode=USD}}
Just change the en to fr, jp, or de to get those versions.
