[Translators-l] Translation request: CentralNotice with last call for FDC nominations

[Eleri James]

Query on message "Help decide about more than $‍10 million of Wikimedia donations"


How is "$‍10 million" rendered? If it appears with a localised currency symbol, does the computer know how to convert $10 to the local currency?

Hi all,

the CentralNotice with the "last call" reminder for those Wikimedians
who are considering to volunteer on the new Funds Dissemination
Committee is going live shortly, and although it will include a link
to the translation page (and only be displayed to logged-in users),
and the linked nominations page is unfortunately English-only, it
would be great to have at least some of the larger languages available
from the start:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Call_for_Volunteers/CentralNotice

Note: I considered sending this out to via an all-languages
translation notification too, but was hesitant to do so because it is
a really short text and a short term matter (nominations close August
15, so many translators might find this notification on their talk
page only after it has become obsolete), and I think we need to be a
bit careful with the new system so as not to have people feel spammed
and sign off. I'd be interested in opinions though whether any and all
translations should be sent through the notification system.
