As there are no such data released (you can't filter donations by currency, or even better currency+location) so I'm just guessing that those donating in forints are mostly (~100%) Hungarians, while there is no easy way to find the Hungarians among those not donating in forints. I didn't want to elaborate on this in my previous mail, but as long as the surname - first name order is not considered wrong, strange or out of place in the context of English, and possibly other languages, than using this order would be a win - win (it would be still acceptable on the English/other interfaces, and on the Hungarian interface it would be correct). However, most Hungarians themselves use the Western order to name themselves in English (and I guess in most foreign languages and contexts) so the Western order would be correct on every interface language (except possibly in those countries that use the non-Western order) except Hungarian (but I dare say that people don't/wouldn't mind it, as they understand that the context is mostly English [website of an American foundation, even the currencies look 'foreign']). In conclusion, I would let the Hungarians' name's rest for this year :).

Maybe a solution would be to have 3 options instead of two at the privacy checkbox: Display my name [default], Anonymous donation, Display a custom name [this could work possibly for donating in someone other's name, if that's not a privacy concern]. -- Bence Damokos (Damokos Bence in Hungary) > > > Roan Kattouw (Catrope) > > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l > _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
