This varies by country; the normal way of paying for things in *some* 
countries in Europe, like Germany, is with a bank transfer.  In others, 
like Greece and France, credit cards are much more common.

Languages aren't members of the euro-zone though; countries are.  Is 
"French" a member of the euro-zone (France) or not (Canada)?  Etc.  
Obviously it makes no sense for a French-speaking Canadian to donate via 
a German bank account, since that would involve international 
bank-transfer fees.
