Hi Randy, We would need to estimate the proportional costs of bandwidth and server costs as a ratio of our total bandwidth plus the soft costs to actually install the localisation on the server. That shouldn't be too expensive.
I'm willing to start the ball rolling by pledging CAD$100 per month from my personal funds to help support a Chinese Wikieducator. Once we know the estimated costs, we will know how much money to raise.
