Available to download
An introductory leaflet about PALS is now available in 25 languages and can be down-loaded from PALS Online. The leaflets have been produced as “Word” files, which can be modified to include the contact details of local PALS, and can be printed on office printers. They have been published in order to enable PALS to make their services more accessible through the distribution of low-volume, high-quality leaflets.
Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire PALS used part of last year’s network funds to develop the series of leaflets and produced a CD for local use. They have made their work available to national PALS and, with some modifications to artwork, are now freely shared with colleagues throughout the country.
In addition to the 25 translated “Word” files, the English version, on which the translations have been based, is available as a portable document file (PDF), which can be viewed here.
The easiest way to access the files on this site is to:
1.hover the cursor over the “Information Centre” at the top of the screen until a drop-down menu appears below
2.slide the cursor down the menu to “Resource Centre” then across and down to “Explore Resources”
3.click on “Explore Resources”.
4.This will open up a new screen showing the Resource Subject Tree from which you should select “PALS Resources”, then “Publicity and Promotion” and “Translated PALS leaflets”.
5.By clicking on a language of your choice, you will be able to down-load the relevant “Word” file. Save this to your own computer and modify it as you see fit – there are text boxes in which you can enter contact details for your service.
Languages available are: Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Farsi, French, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Kurdish Khurmangi, Kurdish Sorani, Mandarin, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Urdu and Vietnamese.
Please note that some languages use characters that may not be readily available in the fonts on your computer. If this proves the case, email the national PALS office with details of the language(s) concerned and they will be able to offer advice.
