[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Chinese Translation Project

[William Drake]

Hi

Yes, very happy Peter and Jia are making this happen, and of course if other members are able to organize for other translations of the outreach brochure or other stuff that’d be great too.  Some parts of the ICANNsphere get these and other services provided by staff, but we are reliant on volunteer labor for most things.  Perhaps that contributes to our independence of view...

Best

For the brochure translation, we can divide the task into two parts. each of our both can translate a half , then we invite the experts in CCTEAG (Chinese Community Translation Expert Advisory Group) to Check it. CCTEAG is organized by my academy, so it is easy to connect with those experienced experts who participate in ICANN meeting for many times. Meanwhile, those experts can make sure the words we translated is in the right way.
