campaign
Hi sycamoreone,
Nice to see you again around here.
When we did stats on PayPal donations yesterday Germany was #2 behind
the US so German translation is super important here I think.

We changed a bit the English phrasing since them and we're now saying
"our fundraiser would be done in one day" instead of "by the end of the
day". I changed this in German to:
"wäre unsere Spendenkampagne an einem Tag schon beendet."
Tell me if I messed up!

I applied all that, thanks!

I'll let other German translators suggests changes if they want because
consistency of tone can be important. I still applied all your changes
because I thought it was better to have something for a start.
