Creative Commons would like to work with you in creating a strong voice for openness around the world. There are many Creative Commons produced or curated materials that need translation.

As of January 2018, the Affiliate Network transitioned to a Global Network, where everyone - individuals and institutions - are welcome. The Creative Commons Global Network works together to realize our shared values and build relationships around the world. Interested in signing up? Become a member at https://network.creativecommons.org/.

You can also join the #cc-translation channel on on Slack, to stay informed about materials that need to be translated or to suggest new materials.
