Hi, all.<br>I&#39;m almost ready with the Bulgarian translation. There is a phrase, however, that puzzles me and colleagues of mine, whom I asked for advised. What is the phrase <i>&quot;...and leave waste to others&quot;</i> supposed to mean in the overall context of the appeal?<br>
Thanks.<br>Vassia<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 7:46 AM, Philippe Beaudette <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:pbeaudette@wikimedia.org">pbeaudette@wikimedia.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2010/Jimmy_appeal_2" target="_blank"></a>This one is performing very well in English, but may be tricky to translate - it&#39;s idiomatic.  This is probably a good time to mention again that we&#39;re looking for localization - not strict, word-for-word translation.  If a phrase doesn&#39;t work, don&#39;t use it, or substitute something better.  :)</div>
