Hi Henrik, we’ve added the ability to translate the “add us to your address book” link:

But we do get occasional reports of places that still need work. Please let us know if there are more places that need custom translation.

798 days since you introduced this feature, 123 days since you promised us a translation option – and *still* no progress

Greetings from Argentina. We also are expecting that translation for the “Add us..” message. Any idea when is it going to be available?

Hi Ben,
Spanish speakers would really appreciate the possibility to translate the text “add us to your address book”. How is it going?

Many thanks in advance!

Any progress on the translation and possibility to change the color of the “add to addressbook” link?

Ben,
Could I copy the link to vcard that is generated in the footer of one of my test emails and paste that into the body of a new campaign. I am helping a client move their mailing list to Mailchimp and our first campaign is centred around getting the subscribers to update their preferences and to download the vCard. We have an uphill battle because their previous service only kept email addresses not first name, last name or any other information.

We’re working on that. Sorry for the inconvenience. That’s a string of text (among others) that didn’t make it through our translation process.

Hello Ben,
I’ll guess but I’am sure you have a lot of non English users. Please could you provide a language solution for the sentence “Add us to your address book”. It’s kind of strange to have this English if the rest of the message is in e.g. Dutch language.

Thanks!

Regrards,

Mark

Sounds like you’re trying to work around a footer that we automatically add to all outgoing emails whenever we *do not* detect that you’re adding our unsub link somewhere in your message. We add this footer to help people who otherwise don’t totally know how to add all the international spam law compliance stuff. Try adding our required unsub link, and you may see some of these design issues go away (but do make sure you consult your attorney to make sure you’re complying with all applicable spam laws, and consult your physician to make sure you’re healthy enough to be sending emails).

these may help:
