Dear WAI Interest Group,

Did you know that we have W3C WAI resources in over 35 languages?
 All WAI Translations
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/translations/

And, there are a lot of resources and a lot of languages still to be translated.

For those whose native language is other than English: Do you want to share W3C WAI accessibility information in your language?

We are excited to announce that we have updated guidance for translating accessibility resources. And we have someone dedicated to help with translations.

To better support volunteer translators, we've updated the process, documentation, and tools. The starting point for information is: https://www.w3.org/WAI/about/translating/ From there you can get to the step-by-step guidance and more.

Rémi Bétin updated the translations support material and is available for at least the next few weeks to help with translations.

If you are interested in volunteering to translate WAI accessibility resources -- or know someone who might be -- please see:
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/about/translating/

If you have any questions or suggestions, please send them to Rémi and Shawn through this list (which is not publicly-archived):
 group-wai-translations@w3.org

Many thanks to everyone contributing to expand accessibility awareness around the world!

Best,
~Shawn & Rémi
