Translations Providing Assistance for our International Members

The TMA has members from more than sixty countries around the world. Most of the people who find us from our web site speak some English. Many are quite fluent in English. Due to the volume of information we have offered on our web site and the frequent changes we make to the content, we are not going to be able to offer translations of the entire site in different languages. We do, however, believe that we can assist people who are not entirely fluent in English, if we can offer them a few important pages of information in their native language.

Yvonne Lugo has translated the TMA brochure into Spanish and we have posted it on the web site. Ursula Mauro has translated the membership form on the web site into German. If you can perform translations for us, we would be grateful for your help. We are interested in having the main page of the web site translated into languages that are not currently represented. If you would like to check the text that is being translated, just click on one of the flags located on the main page.

We would also like to have the brochure translated. Again, you can click on the brochure from our web site to find the text that needs to be translated. Finally, if you can provide us with the text for the membership form in your native language, that would be a tremendous help for those people who find us and do not speak fluent English.

So much of what we do in the TMA is focused on helping people to not feel so isolated by their experiences with TM. By offering this information to a new TMA member in their native language, we believe that we are going to help them to feel more significantly welcomed into our community. Please send your text translations to Jim Lubin: jlubin[AT SIGN]myelitis.org

Thank you for your help on this important project.
