Serving in another language?
Their words print.
The emails your LDS missionary sends home print in the language they wrote them, each in its own script, whether it's a whole letter in Portuguese or a few words of Korean. We print their words; we don't translate them. The labels the book adds, like Contents, month names and dates, stay in English, and so does this site.

What to know first.
We print. We don't translate.
Their words stay in the language they wrote them. We don't translate or correct them.
The book's own labels stay in English.
Contents, month names, dates, and the From and To on each email print in English, even in a book written wholly in Korean.
Hebrew and Arabic books open like English books.
The spine is on the left and page one is at the front, whatever language the words are in.
Forwarding from an email app in another language.
We find a forwarded email's writer and date in the lines your email app adds above it, and we read those lines in English and a few European languages. From an app set to another language, the email's words still print, but it can land under your name, on the day you forwarded it, with those lines above it. To keep each letter's writer and date, import the weekly letters from Gmail, or forward from an email app set to English.
Foil and PDF title lines.
The foil on a Premium linen spine stamps only Western European letters, so a name in another alphabet leaves the spine blank. The printed dust jacket keeps it. The title line you can add to an uploaded PDF has the same limit, so in another alphabet it prints no line.
How it works.
Bring in their letters.
Import their weekly emails from Gmail, forward the others to your Save-to-Archive address, and upload their scanned letters. Each sits in date order beside everything written in English.
Add your own words.
The pages you use to make the book are in English, but you can type the title page, the name on the cover and your personal message in Korean, Russian or another language the book prints.

Questions.
Will you translate their letters?
No. Their words print in the language they wrote them.
What if an email mixes languages?
It prints too. A few words of Korean in an English email print in their own script, right where they were written.
What about handwritten letters?
A scanned letter prints as the page itself, in the language it was written.
Does another language cost more?
No. A book's price goes by its size, finish and pages, never its language, and you see the price before you order.
Do emojis print too?
Yes, in color. More on emojis in their book.
