strating and disappointing experience. Despite my best efforts we did not r=
eceive a completely translated central banner in Welsh and clicking on the =
central banner never took us to the Welsh language version of the donation =
landing page, at least for the vast majority of cy users, those living in t=
he UK.

To describe in detail:

Translation links for translators
This year you decided not to include translation links from the central not=
ice to meta because this was drawing people away from the donation link. I'=
m not taking issue with that decision. As you know the disadvantage of this=
 is that potential translators do not know where to translate, which is pot=
entially aggravating for those users (of which more below). One way of miti=
gating this difficulty would have been to post on the community page an inv=
itation and link to the translation tab of the Fundraiser 2010 hub, specifi=
cally inviting users to translate, when the campaign went permanently live.=
 Assuming that the central banner will lack the translation links next year=
 too I recommend you do this next year.

The link to the fundraiser translation which was included as a banner on me=
ta was very useful by the way - please can we have this next year too.
