The "PayPal Is Displaying In Japanese" Problem

We've had numerous reports of the PayPal page coming up in Japanese when people click on the button on the website to donate, and after much inquiry we think we have identified the problem.  I will be putting my limited HTML and web design skills toward attempting to resolve it shortly and hopefully by tomorrow it will no longer be an issue.  In the meantime, if you see a bunch of Japanese text pop up on the PayPal page, don't fret - you're in the right place as long as you have the following at the top of the page:

NPO法人宮城英語教育支援協会(MEESA)


To the right of this text should be a small putton that says either the name of your language or "日本語".  This is a button to toggle between languages and if you click on it you should be able to change the language in which donation instructions are displayed.

UPDATE:

Fixing this problem has turned out to require some rather annoying and roundabout HTML coding which might take a bit of time to get working correctly. In order to avoid bringing down the channels for donations that DO work, I'm going to avoid updating the site until I get all the bugs worked out - hopefully that will be within the next few days. - Greg
