If the 2011 Jimmy Letter has been translated into your language, you can probably re-use much of it for this translation. :-) Jseddon (WMF) (talk) 18:37, 27 September 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Version 1 (Millions)

Google might have close to a million servers. Yahoo has something like 12,000 staff. We have about 800 servers and 150 employees.

Wikipedia is the #5 site on the web and serves 450 million different people every month – with billions of page views.

Ticaret weşo. Reklamkarey zi hewla. Feqet aite tiyay niya. Wikipedia de nibeno.

Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others.

When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.

If everyone reading this donated $5, we would only have to fundraise for one day a year. But not everyone can or will donate. And that's fine. Each year just enough people decide to give.

This year, please consider making a donation of $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.

Teşekur keme,
