Hi,
Here are a few resources that may be helpful...
NISE Net has developed a translation guide, based on a process established
by OMSI, that deals with issues of colloquialisms:
http://www.nisenet.org/catalog/tools_guides/translation_process_guide
In the next few months, we'll replace that document with a revised version
that also incorporates information on graphic practices for bilingual
labels (including the Nano graphics Shana mentioned). In the meanwhile,
the redesigned Nano labels can be found here:
