Translating The monthly "probe"

Monthly, the English language announcement list distributes the following message to all its subscribers. Besides reminding users about how to signoff from Kidlink, providing a key link for more information, it also serves to check if the user is still there. The latter is rather important because non-existing email addresses provide our staff with error-messages to handle.

Here's the text of the monthly message:

Dear KIDLINK Subscriber,

This message is sent each month to KIDLINK lists to explain what we do, and how you can get more information about our activities. It also contain instructions on how to unsubscribe (leave) KIDLINK mailing lists.

KIDLINK (sm) is a grassroots organization focusing on global networking for youth through secondary school. See http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/abstract.html for details.

To sign off (unsubscribe) from any of Kidlink's mailing lists, send an email to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU, and use the command

SIGNOFF <mailing list name>

Example: To signoff from the KIDFORUM-COORD list, send the command

SIGNOFF KIDFORUM-COORD

Note: Your mail must be sent from the account that has been receiving the messages from the mailing list in question!

Yours in KIDLINK,

Odd de Presno
Executive Director

{{ This is an official KIDLINK announcement. These messages }}

When translating, consider changing the text marked with boldface above. First, the link to http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/abstract.html should go to your translation of this page. Example, in a Spanish language translation, use http://www.kidlink.org/spanish/general/abstract.html

You may use KIDFORUM-COORD in your translation, but it may make more sense for users to use a name of a list in your language.

Send your translation to listeam@kidlink.org to be posted.
