"Notes Floats My Boat" worldwide translation
Tags: Community
We love this t-shirt. It says "Notes Floats My Boat" in English. But what does it mean in German? Russian? French? Chinese? Spanish? Japanese? Italian? Swedish? Polish? Portuguese? Probably nothing, as it is an idiomatic expression. So, we are looking to make an international t-shirt that expresses our feelings about Lotus Notes, with as many languages represented as we possibly can.
So, we are calling on the Notes community, native speakers of all languages, tell us how you say "Notes is #1 for me"! We are looking for an idiomatic fun expression, not a literal translation. If it rhymes with Notes, even better! The most popular entry for each language (based on @Comments in this blog) will get a free t-shirt at Lotusphere (or mailed to them anywhere in the world). We will also give away 500 of these t-shirts at our booth (#530) at Lotusphere 2009!
Wearers of the final t-shirt will be able to show that Notes is loved in every language!
So come on, tell us, in your native language, "Notes is #1 for me" !

"Notes is het beste wat me ooit is overkomen" or "Eenmaal notes nooit meer wat anders" The first sentence translated would mean "Notes is the best thing ever hapened to me" and the second one states "Once you have seen notes you never want something else".

1) "Notes y ya!" ... which is idiomatic, but means that I only need Notes. I think Pepsi used it like 20 years ago "Pepsi y ya!" when it was relatively unknown in Mexico
2) An expression very particular to Mexico would be "Notes es mi gallo". In politics, it means that not only you prefer one candidate, but that you support it actively. It's also used when you are betting, so in this case is like saying "I bet for Notes". But I don't know if in other Spanish-speaking countries would have a hidden meaning, "gallo" is an animal (a cock). In Mexico it's a strong support phrase, so I like it better.
