An idea I've had that would help greatly is if there were
instructions/conditions in as many languages as possible. The
appropriate translated document could be sent with orders and
all the rest of the documentation. It would be great if this
was available on the APHIS website, but a bit much to expect
considering their already strapped budget. Perhaps we as a
group could take on the project I'm sure there are many
languages represented here, and enough people to proofread the
translations. Whether we would/could make the translated
documents available, or give them to the government to post is
an issue to be resolved. I know that it would help to be able
to send instructions that are understood at the exporters' end,
as I've had Jim's experience myself. I speak enough Spanish to
travel and converse, but I have some difficulty with more
technical and legal documents. I'm sure it is the same for many
people who "speak" English. Heck, I have trouble with legal
documents in English, even as a native speaker!
