The word donate links to wikimediafoundation.org Will that page be
available under the circunstances under which the message is shown?
(eg. s3 goes down)
Also, all translations link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reload Not
only it's not localised, but the page is a disambiguation which doesn't
explain _how_ to reload a page (which is the only utility i see to link
that page) The same concern for being to a internal page applies.
Finally, this message use to have a Donation form at the botton. Can it
be translated, too?
PS: Roberto & Rodolfo, i updated the es: translation.
