The English version has been working fine, but all of the other languages are 
still directed to an English Paypal page. The other country codes are listed 
here:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-contentcontent_ID=developer/e_howto_api_nvp_country_codes
However, it looks like it's not straightforward to make the link sensitive to 
the language of the webpage?

Should I forget about this? It doesn't seem like a big problem and it appears 
to be difficult to fix.

 I added a line to set lc (language code) to GB for now (in
 farm/cookbook/LyX/paypal.php)

 To make it sensitive to the language of the document, we have to find
 out how to pass paramteres to pmwiki templates. It may be trivial, I
 just do not know.

I'll cc Christian. He presumably will know.

Only that I have no problem with that change being made on the web page.

Anyhow I do not know why it would be necessary, at the very least the
PayPal account itself is setup with all defaults to English.
But it might be as you say that since owner of the account is Norwegian
that is what you get, when it does not find a better fit.
