Big Spender Cole T. flexes his wallet, look! "PayPal apparently doesn't place a limit on how big your donations can be. Also, usingexponential notation for monetary values should be a crime."

Vriend Wouter writes "Localizing legal texts, when organizing a competitionfor example, implies more than just translating. Youalso need to change any mentioned deadlines to the applicableregion, for convenience of the reader.
