SV: Promoting WCAG 2.0 Approved as ISO/IEC International Standard

Hi Shawn and Sylvie
Do you know if this only relates to the official ISO languages i.e. French and Russian, or is it also relevant to the other W3C Authorized translations. I told my contact in Danish Standards to remember our authorized translation, but I know that some of the national standardization bodies and ISO are very strict about translations, it has to be their own translators.

Sincerely
