Background
This pilot language localisation project is jointly launched by Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and ICANN. Asia Pacific is a diverse region with many languages, and it was identified that the 6 official UN languages do not fully cater for this region. In this regard, to strengthen ICANN's engagement with the region, ICANN needs to work with our community in the Asia Pacific to develop localised material to better engage and reach out to our fellow Asia Pacific members. The pilot language localisation toolkit, developed jointly with KISA, serves to provide basic ICANN material for you to translate into your local language to reach out to your community members and stakeholders. This project also celebrates the multi-stakeholder, bottom-up model, as we work from the community for the community. We thank you for being part of this project!
Who can use this toolkit?
We welcome our Asia Pacific community to download the slides on ICANN, and to translate them to share with your local community. Whichever stakeholder group you may be from - technical community, business, government, civil society, or simply an individual internet user - if you share ICANN's core values to maintain a free and interoperable Internet, and want to share this important work with your community members/stakeholders, this for you.
You can even translate this guide to your local language. Click 'translate' above.
