Spanish content here.
<br>
*|ELSEIF:MC_LANGUAGE=de|*
<br>
German content here.
<br>
*|ELSE:|*
<br>
Display English content for everyone else.
<br>
*|END:IF|*</p>
My guess is that you can ELSEIF as much as you want, to add as much
languages as you want.<br>
<br>
I will create account later and test all this, but you should add
language picker on signup page.<br>
MailChimp also detects language based on browser language, but I
think it's better to ask user.<br>

I assume you are specifically asking about the donation process.
(In general, there is a need for someone to interact with the
localization community as a whole over the entire Thunderbird
project).<br>
<br>
I was please to see yesterday that MoFo has undertaken the
translation of the Thunderbird donation pages (see for example <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://donate.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/about/"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://donate.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/about/">https://donate.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/about/</a></a>
and <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://donate.mozilla.org/ja/thunderbird/about/">https://donate.mozilla.org/ja/thunderbird/about/</a>).
But there is a piece that we need to work on still.<br>
<br>
As part of the donation flow, people who make a donation are sent
to a Mailchimp page to subscribe to a mailing list to allow us to
interact with donors. The intention here is that people who donate
should have the opportunity to interact with the project in the
future, to help establish priorities and such. So we need a way to
communicate with them, and a MailChimp list was decided as a
simple way of doing this.<br>
<br>
People are directed to the URL for signup to this list at the end
of the donate process, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://eepurl.com/bQpIjD">http://eepurl.com/bQpIjD</a>
When they do that, they are shown some text that tells them
briefly about the list they are being asked to subscribe to.<br>
<br>
Here then is the project: Figure out how to get that text
localized. The signup form is something that we design, and it
supposedly has localization features. One feature is
"automatically translate" but as far as I can tell that is not
working. It is also possible to specify translations.<br>
<br>
No, I do not know how all of this is supposed to work, and
figuring that out is the essence of the project. That, and once it
is understood, figure out how to interact with the Thunderbird
localization community to get it translated. You could start by
creating a (free) Mailchimp account, and work to understand their
design tools for list signup. They are designed to be easy to use
(which makes them baffling to a coder) so this is a "non-coding"
project.<br>
<br>
It would be great if someone took this on, Mihovil is you want but
others could also consider this.<br>
