A World of Thanks
...to our translators!
There is no way this project could have gotten off the ground without the individuals who graciously offered their help with the translations. In each case I sought the talents of native speakers and asked for a translation that would best reflect the way a particular phrase might be said in their language or used in their culture.
So it is with great gratitude that we acknowledge the following individuals who did the translations on the following templates:
