Dear Barbara & Valerie

I didn't see this message before... because my computer was of for a
while... but... I'd like to know if the italian translation would be
available for the swiss italian group... (if they are interested into
learning)... they speak italian...
I could then manage to insert swiss italian sign language example...

Let me know

Anny
