    I'm looking for glossaries of commonly used Short Message Service
    abbreviations in Spanish, French , Italian and German. Typical English
    SMS abbreviations include "CUL8R" (see you later) and B4 (before). For
    Spanish I know of only "TQ" (te quiero), "T2" (todos), and "SL2"
    (saludos). I've done various Google searches using the keywords "SMS
    slang dictionary glosary" in the respective languages, and I've found
    references to publications of English SMS vocabulary (e.g.
    http://es.gsmbox.com/news/mobile_news/all/50850.gsmbox) but nothing for
    Spanish, French, Italian and German. Any links to SMS glossaries in
    these languages would be appreciated.
    TIA,
    Tim
