Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is an illness that has occurred in epidemic and sporadic forms all over the world. Unfortunately the bulk of information on M.E., particularly the good quality and unbiased information, is mostly only available in English. For the benefit of the many thousands of people with M.E around the world this has to change.
In time, I hope to be able to present here links to at least the basic texts on this site, in at least most of the most commonly used languages. For this to happen however, translators are urgently needed!
The following 2 page summaries are a first priority for translation:
If anyone is willing to translate more than 2 pages, it would also be wonderful to have translations of the following basic texts:
If you would be willing to translate even just 2 pages of text into another common language please contact me by email . Translations may of course be done over several months. If you can only work slowly due to being very busy (or being ill) that is fine. (Although it might be a good idea to tell me what you are working on so that someone else doesn't submit a translation first and duplicate your efforts!) If you want to put the translation on your own M.E. site and have me link to that, or if you don't have a site and want me to add the translation to this site, either is fine. You can also be credited with your translation using your full-name, your initials, or you can be anonymous if you wish.
For more information on M.E. issues in countries other than the US and UK, see: Articles sorted by Country. Sections available so far include Australia and the Netherlands.
Translations to selected texts are so far available in Norwegian and Dutch. Hopefully this list will soon be much longer. (Links to some translations of other M.E. texts by other authors are also included.)
