The idea is that Wikipedia is an honored place, devoted to learning and wisdom.

Hi,
Japanese translation is nearly ready.
One part I'm not sure about is the sentence "It is like a temple for the
mind."
What effect is the sentence supposed to have?
A word-to-word translation into Japanese might make it too much 'religious'.
I'm wondering if I should try avoiding making Wikipedia look like a religion.
Cheers,
Whym

Hello Philippe
Our translation is ready. Not just a quick translation, but we had a
thorough look at it.
We're happy to run Jimmy's new appeal as soon as possible.

PS Philippe, I sent this message to your address at
wikimedia.org too, as I
don't know whether you read this list regularly. Sorry if this leads to
doubling your messages.

Just a gentle reminder: we have an appeal from Jimmy up
at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Translation . This one
will be pushed out to all wikis, so we really need it localized as much as
possible, please... any help you can give is gratefully appreciated.
