We have had an overwhelming response to the free brochures we offer and want to thank everyone for your interest spreading the word with us!

Our brochures requests are coming from people all over the world and as exciting as this is, it's limiting b/c they are only available in English. If you are bilingual and have interest in volunteering to translate our brochure, into any language, please let us know. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to provide people with brochures in their own language?

Great idea,,, but sorry, can't help. The only Spanish words I know are for food.

I can do a French one. My German, Pennsylvania German, and Spanish aren't quite grammatically fluent enough for me to do those ones, though, and I'm sure my inlaws wouldn't have the time. What languages in particular are you needing at this point?

I forgot to mention that you probably still have my address and can mail me a copy.

Sheesh, speaking of mailing, I still have your pictures in my desk drawer... :oops: :oops: :oops: ..I'm awful...I need to get those in the mail.

Woohoo, thanks so much for doing the French one!!!! Can I just email you the text and you can translate and email me back the translation? I will have to redo each brochure completely to modify them for the translated versions so that might be just as easy.

Not even sure what specific languages I should get, because there have been requests from so many different areas. And since I don't have anyone to translate, I'm just going to take whatever languages I can get at this point.

I know you still have those pics., but also know how busy you've been. Hopefully now that the house is done and the boards and the main site have been updated, you'll get a chance.

Sure...Email is probably the easiest. Is the brochure different that the book one? I don't know that I'll be able to get it translated and back to you too quickly, but I'll try to do my best. What countries have the requests come from so far?

You know, Roni, people knew English well enough to find the site, so hopefully the English brochures will do for now.

Ya, I know that the people requesting the brochures know english but what about the people in the places that they leave them?

Roni,

I received a few brochures the other day from Jene...thanks a lot, I'm going to take them to ped office next visit.
AND I could have one translated for you in Spanish. Living here in miami it's a MUST to know Spanish. More people speak spanish and not english down here than visa versa. SOOO Let me get a look at one and see about translating one for you.

Thanks for the brochures! Might I mention that that is a beautiful picture of Shae on the reflux rollercoaster cover??? GORGEOUS BABY! :binky:

I have a friend who has agreed to translate one into Spanish if you still need someone to commit, Roni.

If you send me one I can translate it into german. I would be the first one to actually buy some and give them to my family, so they understand.

Wow, cool Melanie, that would be terrific! can you download the .pdf? It's at www.infantrefluxdisease.com/brochures.htm. If not, just email me your address. Thank you very much, by the way!

I forgot about this actually, what happened with the spanish ones?

Ok, I have it all translated in german, where do you want me to send it to Roni.

By the way I noticed in your profile that you have the same b-day as my hubby.

Nope, it's ok, you wouldn't be able to change it on the brochure. Just send me the text and I will do that part. Thanks a bunch!!

OwensMom

ok will do, but I won't be able to until the morning since it's already 1am here
and I don't know how long Owen will sleep. I will send it first thing after I get Jonathan to the bus.
