Dear R&D Team...

We've received several suggestions from R&D Team members to offer CoachCards in multiple languages.  Mostly the same 75 cards, but with the imbedded text on each card in another language.  And a stand alone web area/broadcast system itself in that language, although it would be coachcards.com.

What do you think?  We think it's a great idea and can't wait to get started.  But we're going to need some volunteer translaters...

If your native tongue is other than English, and you would be willing to translate the text on the cards (see below for the actual text), we'll arrange to outsource the graphic production so the site/card collection should be up within a week or two after we receive your translation. 

Instructions are below, if you're interested or know someone who would be.  There is no financial compensation for this, just to be clear.

Thank you for your contribution!  We'll include a link at the bottom of the home page with your name, email and/or web address.

Note:  Feel free to pass the word and this memo about CoachCards to anyone who speaks another language.  While most R&D memos are confidential, this one is not.

Enjoy!
Thomas


Project Steps
1. Email thomas@thomasleonard.com with your interest and the language that is your native tongue; and the date you can complete the translation.
2. When approved (quickly), please translate the following text.  Cut and paste the text below into Word and type the translation in a line below each of our text lines.  Please translate the heading as well.  If what we wrote is too American for your country, please modify the text to fit better culturally.
3. When compete, please email the Word document to Thomas@thomasleonard.com.  Please make sure it's in Word so we can literally cut and paste your words, including accent/punctuation marks.)
4.  Finally, if any of the 75 card images don't fit with your country/culture, please let us know and we'll pull or replace them.

Thank you for your contribution!  We'll include a link at the bottom of the home page with your name, email and/or web address.
