I'm happy to report that the donation pages and forms for de, en, fr, it, ja, and most recently nl are all translated!

See http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising and http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donazioni for examples.

But in order to maximize donations for our next fund drive (to be held from Friday 18 February until Friday 4 March) we need more translations.

Below is a table of those that still need some work:

lang page Form-xx Help-xx Onetime-xx Option-xx ar yes no no no no cs yes no no no no es yes no no no no fi yes no no no no he yes no no no no ko yes no no no no pl yes no no no no pt yes yes no no no sv yes no no no no zh yes no no no no

KEY (full instructions are on the linked pages)

*page (actual donation page | Extremely important) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Fundraising/En:

*Form-xx (used to translate donation forms | Very important) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:DonationForm-xx

*Help-xx (help for donors) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:DonateHelp-xx

*Onetime-xx (a message about one time donations) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:DonateOnetime-xx

*Option-xx (used for navigation between forms) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:DonateOption-xx

I'd also like to see translations for all languages for which there are 10,000+ Wikipedia articles. Here is a list of those that so far do not have anything translated:

bg, ca, da, eo, no, ro, ru, and uk

Of course, all other translations are also welcome and will be posted to the foundation wiki.

-----------

One last thing. I've noticed that there is no donation link in the side bar for for many non-Wikipedia wikis and for some Wikipedias. If you are an admin in any of these wikis *and* a version of the donation page is already on the Foundation wiki in your language, then please do this:

Edit [[MediaWiki:Sitesupport-url]] and replace '{{SITENAME}}:Site_support' with 'Wikimedia:donate' with 'donate' being the name of the donation page in your language on the foundation wiki (Spenden, Fundraising, Faites un don, ... etc).

Edit [[MediaWiki:Sitesupport]] and replace the '-' with the word 'Donations' (or its closest equivalent) translated into your language.

That's it. :)
