  Translations at W3C
</H1>
<H3>
  Introduction
</H3>
<P>
The World Wide Web Consortium uses English as its working language. Therefore,
the <EM>official version</EM> of a W3C document is the <EM>English language
version</EM> at the W3C site. However, we try to reach as many people and
organizations around the world as possible. Unfortunately, the W3C team cannot
translate W3C Recommendations because this would take away too much time
from our technical work. We therefore made it easy for others to help us
with translations, and invite you to volunteer to translate some W3C
Recommendation alone or together with somebody else.
<H3>
  Translated specifications

<P>
Some specifications have already been translated, and links to these translations
can be found as follows:

  If you want to translate a specification
</H3>
<P>
We invite you to volunteer to translate some W3C Recommendation alone or
together with somebody else. <EM>Before you start a translation, please make
sure you have read the <A HREF="../Legal/IPR-FAQ.html#translate">information
on translations</A> in our <A HREF="../Legal/IPR-FAQ.html">Copyright FAQ</A>
and have done what it requires.</EM>
<P>
For notifying us about starting or completing a translation (required), to
find other volunteers to help you translate large specifications, or to discuss
questions you have when translating, we have created the
<A HREF="mailto:w3c-translators@w3.org">w3c-translators@w3.org</A> mailing
list. To
