Dear Mikel and Francis,
I hope you can help with a vital and timely project?
Translation Commons has made a multilingual *poster-maker *to help
language communities all over the world receive important *health and
safety guidelines* from the World Health Organization to combat the
*Coronavirus pandemic*.
We are excited to disseminate these posters as soon as possible to
communities around the world. The poster-maker is pre-populated with
word-prompts derived from the Panlex database in over 6,000 languages.
If a translation doesn't exist in any language at least the word prompts
along with the icons will help those communities get the correct message.
You can view the public Covid 19 Multilingual Poster-Maker
<https://translationcommons.org/covid19multilingual/>
Please help us reach the speakers of as many languages as possible by
adding your languages and/or forwarding this email to your contacts, and
asking them to follow the instructions below in order to create a poster
with an accurate, *complete translation of 7 phrases* from English into
their language.
Contributors, please use this edit link :
https://translationcommons.org/covid-19multilingual/?edit&official
to open and edit the poster and:
* Enter your language’s name or ISO code into the text box at the top
of the poster, and select the appropriate language from the list of
suggestions. The poster will auto-fill with initial translations, or
single-word prompts if nothing else is available.
* *Edit the poster title, the word for “language”, and the five
instructions*below it so that they contain complete and accurate
translations.
* Enter your name and email at the bottom of the poster so we can
thank you and add you to our contributors.
* *Enter the code “**tcpl**” into the small box below the email field
and click the save icon.*This causes your translations to be saved
and available to others.
* After saving, you can print the poster or share it through social
media by using the buttons at the bottom.
* If the content is already displayed correctly in your language, it
means it has been translated by someone else. If you disagree with
the translation please email me with your version and explanation.
Please only share with your contacts that you feel can best contribute.
Thank you, and let me know if you have any questions.
With appreciation,
Jeannette
