Parameters of the type $1, $2, $3 are used in MediaWiki messages, but there is no way to use parameters like that in translatable pages. Since a lot of fundraiser-related pages use dollar signs in the pages, this will make the translation fuzzy unless they use the same dollar signs or put something between the dollar sign and the number. I propose to just disable this check for page translation.
There is a way: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_administration#Segmentation If we can't reduce false positives enough, we should turn the check off.
Ah, great, I was unaware of that for some reason. This gave me an idea – we want to replace the dollar values with values in the user's local currency anyways, so using variables will make that a lot easier. Thanks. Closing as invalid.
