It is supposed to render as "$10 million" (the "‍" is just to avoid problems with the syntax of the Translate extension and later on the JavaScript in the CentralNotice).

Or actually to convert that amount to a local currency yourself - although that may not make sense in all languages, as for many of them have a substantial amount of readers in several countries, so that there would be several possible local currencies.
