I second this. I figured everything out and converted my US dollars to Euros, but it took more money than what the conversion said. I would like to be able to give a known number of USD and have it converted into however many Euros.

I still cannot figure out how to donate in US English and dollars. I would imagine this stops others who are trying to make donations, too.

I used Chromium Browser and google translated the donation page and I used Paypal which showed my donation in Australian dollars and Euros.

I think the only person who can fix it is the Web site administrator, namely lxnay or any of his colleagues who have administrator access to the Web site. He needs to add some HTML to the Web site to cause that PayPal page to be displayed in English: PayPal Initial Page in Wrong Language.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to add a way to donate without using paypal. There are some people who don't want to create a paypal account (this was questioned in the german forum).

a way to donate without using paypal.

Any suggestions of other ways of remitting donations?

Yes, there is a link (in Italian) on the donate by Paypal page that you can click to donate by credit card. At least, that is what I think it says. I haven't tried it.

Isn't that the same page that the OP is complaining about? If that is the page you're referring to, it's a Paypal URL, for payment via Paypal (even if you use a credit card):
