Localize the fundraising app

[bmispelon]

It would be a nice touch to have the donation form, thank you page, ... localized.

I can do this one guys

What does the implementation look like? As far as I know, we don't have any translation infrastructure in place for the Django website (besides docs which is independent). Do we have to setup a Transifex project and start pulling and pushing translations? \cc @claudep

Might be nice to dogfood Django's i18n :-)

It looks like Transifex has free open source accounts. I'll see about getting one set up.

If you would like to be added as a translator please let me know here or on IRC. (UPDATE: We already have an account. See below.)

I noted this on IRC as well, but I don't think everyone is logged in there: Do we already have a Transifex account? Or is someone else squatting on the 'django' org slug? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/fyiGYl4F/Screenshot%202019-02-17%2019.31.32.png

(I did create one already that we can use, but obviously it may make sense to all use the same one, if we have one already.)

@tobiasmcnulty I'm pretty sure this is where all django/django translations are handled

@tobiasmcnulty Please tell me your Transifex nick and I'll add you to the Django maintainer team there.

The Transifex PR (#866) has been merged, so this should be a bit more straightforward now.

I think the steps are:

1. Mark up the strings for translation in this app. In particular the snippets included elsewhere on the site and the form itself would be great to have translated (but it is all important).

2. Once that's merged, push up the new source strings to Transifex, translate them, and then pull down/commit the translations (this could be done as a separate PR or set of PRs).

The translation docs are in the README: https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com#translation

@pauloxnet Do you think this is something you might be able to drum up some volunteers to lead? (It seems like a nice idea right?)
