Congratulations for your work!
I would like to have this infographics translated into catalan. Is that possible?
I'm a chemistry teacher at secondary school and also a teacher trainer. I'm a member of the Chemical Society of Chemistry, and we could translate and disseminate your infographics.
Thank you very much
Fina

Hi Fina,
Thanks for your interest. We don't currently translate our content to Catalan. We have limited resources for translations. To clarify, are you proposing that the chemical society you're part of could translate the graphic? If so, you can find me on our staff contact page and message me there. There would still be a cost associated with reproducing the graphic, but we could chat about possibilities. Thanks.

Hi Lorena,
Thanks for the kind words. We are in the process of translating the graphic to Spanish. When it's ready, it'll post here: https://cen.acs.org/sections/espanol.html
