Hi
1. Can anyone advise on translating the England&Wales licences into Welsh? I'd like to put a team together to professionally translate them. (I've searched the mailing list archives but no result on this topic.)
2. I would like to do it properly and enable them to be legally binding in their own right. I assume Creative Commons would like to verify them somehow before endorsing them - what usually happens with translations like this? They would be direct translations of the England&Wales licences.
3. While I'm asking, are there any other related things that should be translated as well - like other texts and 'promotional' material? For instance I'd also like to get all the human-readable summaries done so Welsh can be featured on creativecommons.org, e.g.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/deed.en_GB
Although there is a lot of content in the Welsh language licensed under Creative Commons licences, no version of the licences seems to exist in the language itself (to my knowledge).
It could encourage adoption by Welsh language creators, artists and so on. Regarding question 2 I suppose there would be some benefit in having unapproved informal 'guide' texts in Welsh that would not be legally binding (a la translations of GPL). But this is far from ideal.
thanks for any help
Carl Morris
