http://translate.google.com/ is the address for google translate. Copy and paste message into box[s] and do the same from the results and you can speak too, and understand worldwide contacts. To online novices- copy/paste by highlighted text with rt mouse click and hold as you scan/copy text. Then hit CTRL + C on blue shaded area [you've copied] and then CTRL + V to paste/place message where you want

First find the translation for do you speak English? or do you know someone that can read English? a lot of countries are learning to read and write English, so someone may have a friend that can translate your message to your affiliate,or vise versa give it a try and see what happens!

We can communicate with love, patience and respect. Google Translate does a fantastic job helping with this.

I send my messages in English, keeping them short and using simple words. This makes the translation better when they use Google. My members send me information in their language, and I translate it. Sometimes it is funny as btl translates as bottle, yet it is easy to know what they are saying most of the time.

The best way is to find on google search translate sure, but I assume that people who suscribed did speak or understand English which is the best language to speak in the world ... but they also have a sponsor who introduce them to SFI and "normally" should help them .. Sponsor are interested to earn money from their affiliate but have also a morzl engaement to Help !! that is really really important! I wouldn't ask someone to suscribe if I know he doesn't understand english and I am not
