The illustrations are the brainchild of Vashi Diamonds; the British company's employees scoured lists of romantic phrases that only exist in other languages and reached out to friends and family overseas for their input. (A representative from Vashi said that the translations are rough estimates, due to the fact that there are no equivalents in English.)
