Dear all, This is to inform that the W3C Finnish Office at the Tampere University of Technology, is willing to act as the Lead Translation Organisation (LTO) for producing an authorised translation of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 in Finnish. This work is kindly supported by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Finland. Following the policy for Authorised W3C Translations (http://www.w3.org/2005/02/TranslationPolicy), we have identified and invited over 80 Finnish organisations (over 100 people) to review the translation, as the relevant Finnish stakeholders of the field.
