ShareAlike compatibility analysis: Open Game License

2021-06-16T20:45:33Z

CCID-shinchpearson: small change to correct typo

'''THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY A DRAFT, PUBLISHED FOR DISCUSSION ONLY, AND NOT A FINAL ANALYSIS BY CC'''

The Open Game License 1.0 (OGL1.0) was published by Wizards of the Coast in 2000. OGL is a copyright license with Share-Alike type mechanism, and [http://freedomdefined.org/Definition it can be argued to meet the definition of Free Cultural Licenses]. Thus, it satisfies the [[ShareAlike_compatibility_process_and_criteria#Minimum_compatibility_criteria.|minimum criteria]] for compatibility set forth in our [[ShareAlike_compatibility_process_and_criteria|ShareAlike compatibility criteria]]. While these licenses have many similarities licenses, the effect of each license as applied to a creative work is quite different because of the vastly different scope.

'''Summary of comparison: Open Game License 1.0 and BY-SA 4.0'''

* The scope of the two licenses differs in several key regards. CC BY-SA licenses rights in copyright, neighboring rights, and sui generis database rights. The Open Game License is much more limited in scope, excluding many copyrightable elements that fall under the definition of “Product Identity”, such as characters, stories, storylines, artwork, and many other elements if identified as “Product Identity” by the licensor. The main purpose of the license appears to be the licensing of the “game mechanic” and “methods, processes, procedures, and routines”.

* The attribution requirements are similar, but the Open Game License does not permit any marketing to use the name of the creator of remixed material.

* The Open Game License does not mention technological protection measures, which CC BY-SA forbids placing on Shared/Adapted works.

* The Open Game License requires derivatives to be shared under the same license and does not provide any provision for sharing under other similar or compatible licenses. Even if it were otherwise compatible, the license would need to be versioned to permit this.

ShareAlike compatibility process and criteria

2021-06-08T13:22:21Z

CCID-shinchpearson:

The compatibility mechanism in the CC ShareAlike licenses allows contributions to an adaptation to be licensed under a different license if “approved by Creative Commons as essentially the equivalent of this Public License” and listed on the Compatible Licenses page.<ref> Note that the BY-NC-SA license did not contain a compatibility mechanism in versions prior to 4.0. The mechanism is contained in both BY-SA and BY-NC-SA as of version 4.0.</ref>

As steward of the CC licenses, we think it is important to ensure that licensors can trust that when they license their works under one of our licenses, the features of our licenses that are important to them continue to be respected when their works are adapted. Creative Commons seeks to meet licensor expectations as closely as possible, but we also seek to grow the commons of remixable content by declaring compatibility with other licenses that share the same fundamental purpose and effect as our licenses. Please keep these considerations in mind as you review the process and criteria below. Learn more about how ShareAlike compatibility works [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/ShareAlike_compatibility here].

Creative Commons may revise this document in the future, with a 30-day public consultation before any changes are made final.

==Process for Compatibility Evaluation==

'''1. A proposal for a candidate license is made to Creative Commons via a posting to appropriate CC communication channels such as a mailing list or Slack channel.

The proposal must include a link to the full text of the license posted by the steward.<ref> CC may require additional information in connection with the proposal, such as identification of the important license features. </ref> It is not essential that the proposal be made by the license steward (see process note, below), but it is strongly preferred. CC may also begin the process by proposing a candidate license. Similar licenses containing substantially the same text may be proposed or analyzed together.

'''2. Creative Commons creates a wiki page for the candidate license.'''

The primary place of public discussion will be the CC license development and versioning list; however, relevant information about the proposal, a summary of the points of discussion, and analysis of whether compatibility criteria are met will be posted on the wiki.

'''3. Creative Commons publishes a preliminary comparison and analysis of the CC license and the candidate license.'''

This comparison maps elements and features of the CC license to elements and features of the candidate license, and analyzes relevant differences.

'''4. The public discussion period begins.'''

The public discussion period will typically remain open for 30 days. If complicated issues arise, it may be desirable for the discussion to last longer than 30 days until issues are understood fully. However, Creative Commons also reserves the right to close the public discussion early if we determine that a candidate license clearly does not meet our criteria for compatibility.

'''5. CC issues a compatibility determination.'''

Creative Commons will issue a determination detailing reasons why a candidate license is or is not compatible with the CC license. The decision will be posted to the CC license development and versioning list, and posted on the wiki page.

If compatibility is declared, Creative Commons will list the license as a compatible license on its [https://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses compatible licenses page]. Reusers of works under the relevant CC license may thereafter apply the compatible license to the contributions they make to adaptations of those works. If CC declines to name the license as compatible, Creative Commons will list the candidate license as reviewed but not deemed compatible on its [https://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses compatible licenses page]. The candidate license will not be reconsidered for compatibility unless the license steward addresses the identified concerns.

'''''Process notes.'''''

''This is not intended as an approval process or a recommendation process.''

:A compatibility determination means only that you may license your contributions to adaptations of BY-SA or BY-NC-SA licensed works under that license; it is not a recommendation, and a determination that a license is incompatible does not mean that CC recommends against using that license in other circumstances.

''We encourage participation of license stewards.''

:CC would strongly prefer that the license steward participate in the compatibility discussion, particularly if a statement of interpretation or intention is necessary to address concerns or clarify uncertain issues.

:For two-way compatibility, it's often the case that the stewards of both licenses must work together to remove inconsistencies between the licenses, possibly through versioning of one or both of the licenses. CC does not anticipate versioning again in the foreseeable future, but did work with the license stewards of several compatible license candidates during the 4.0 versioning process in anticipation of this process. In cases where licenses are not actively stewarded, participation of the relevant license-user community may be sufficient. If there is no active community of licensors, the value of a compatibility determination may be small, unless there is a very large existing pool of content otherwise incompatibly licensed.

==Minimum Compatibility Criteria==

'''''General.'''''

To be compatible with BY-SA or BY-NC-SA, a candidate license must have the same purpose, meaning, and effect as the corresponding CC license.<ref> This requirement was originally dictated by the language in BY-SA 3.0, and was carried forward in BY-SA 4.0 and BY-NC-SA 4.0.</ref> For each of the criteria below, it is not necessary that the candidate license provide identical treatment. As long as the treatment of relevant factors in the candidate license closely approximates the treatment in the CC license then compatibility is achievable. This is not an exhaustive list of criteria. CC retains discretion not to declare a license compatible based on other factors.

'''''Technical note about adaptations of CC-licensed material. '''''

When an adaptation of a CC-licensed work is created, use of the adaptation requires compliance with the original CC license and the license applied by the adapter to contributions she makes to an adaptation. This means the licenses [[4.0/Treatment_of_adaptations|“stack”]] in the sense that users of the adaptation need to be aware of and comply with the terms of the original license and the adapter’s license.<ref>However, starting with the version 4.0 ShareAlike licenses, it is explicitly clear that downstream users of adaptations created from 4.0 licensed works may satisfy the terms of the upstream license(s) – version 4.0 – by complying with the conditions of the adapter’s license. That means, for example, that someone using the adaptation may attribute the original author in the manner prescribed by the adapter’s license (i.e. the compatible license) rather than the manner dictated by the version 4.0 license applied to the original.</ref> For this reason, the conditions of compatible licenses must align closely with the corresponding CC license. This best respects the expectations of the original CC licensor, and comports with the expectations and practices of reusers of adapted works.

===Minimum compatibility criteria. ===

*'''An approved ShareAlike compatible license must at a minimum:

# contain a ShareAlike mechanism;
# contain an attribution mechanism;
# license rights under copyright;<ref>At a minimum, a candidate license must license copyright. The extent to which the candidate licenses fails to license or otherwise address the other rights covered by CC licenses (e.g., sui generis database rights), or licenses additional rights beyond those in the CC license (e.g., patent rights), will be an important part of the compatibility analysis. Even where a difference in license scope is not deemed a barrier to compatibility, it may be necessary to require that special care be taken so that reusers are aware of the differences.</ref>
# for BY-SA, not violate the definition of Free Cultural Works;<ref>CC has [[CC_Attribution-ShareAlike_Intent|committed]] that its BY-SA licenses will always be compliant with the [http://freedomdefined.org/Definition Definition of Free Cultural Works]. While the [http://opendefinition.org/od/ Open Definition] wasn’t included in that earlier statement, we may also look to that standard of openness for guidance as we evaluate candidate licenses. Licensors who choose BY-SA expect that their material will only be reused in ways that ensure that downstream users know they have the ability to reuse and remix.</ref> and
# for BY-NC-SA 4.0, contain a noncommercial limitation. '''

== Additional considerations ==

*An approved ShareAlike compatible license does not need to be reciprocally compatible with the CC license – that is, two-way compatibility need not exist – provided there are strategic policy or practical reasons for allowing one-way compatibility with a particular license.

*An approved ShareAlike compatible license may impose more conditions on reuse than the corresponding CC license, but only so long as the extra conditions do not unduly burden reuse or neutralize important features of the license.<ref>For example, a few potential compatible licenses used predominantly for software require reusers to distribute or make source code available to facilitate modifications. CC licenses are not designed for software, and contain no equivalent provision. However, this sort of additional condition may be acceptable in a compatible license if necessary steps are taken to ensure it does not unduly complicate reuse.</ref>

*An approved ShareAlike compatible license should address Effective Technological Measures in some way, but not necessarily in the same way as the CC licenses: for example, CC may consider a candidate license that allows licensees to impose ETMs on the conditions that an unencumbered copy is distributed in parallel. It’s also possible that a candidate license addresses ETMs implicitly, such as through other terms which imply a restriction on imposing ETMs.

* While an approved ShareAlike compatible license must contain an attribution requirement, it is not necessary that the requirement align precisely with the CC licenses. Acceptable variation will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

* 8 June 2021: Updated process to account for retired mailing list. Made reference to communication channel generic.

==Translation process==
4.0

The lawyers of CC DE and CC AT have had a translation sprint in Vienna on January 21-22, 2015. This has resulted in a unified first draft for CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in German. It was handed over to Swiss lawyers for cross-checking. The public was notified of the comment period via the involved CC teams' websites, social media and other channels such as netzpolitik.org and several law blogs, the authors of which are part of the translation group's network.

The platform chosen for the commenting period is co-ment.com, an open source commenting solution for which hosting is offered. After the initial announcement of the commenting period, beginning of December 2015, the second round of announcements was sent directly to key people in the wider CC legal community via individual emails.

==Key translation decisions and challenges==
4.0

So far we encountered not many legally problematic bits. One of those is that in general, the legal meaning of "work" in Anglo-American law differs from that of "Werk" in German copyright law. Several words are challenging linguistically, in terms of policy. Especially the term for "Public License" is highly debated, with "Jedermannlizenz" as suggested in the First Draft not being widely accepted within the translation sprint group, mostly due to it being at odds with gender mainstreaming ideas.

A change to the published translation was made on 26 Aug 2020 to correct an error. The explanation from the translation team is as follows:
The initial translation of English "if" into German "ob" was chosen as the closest one regarding the relatedness of the two words. However, this led to an uncertainty due to "if" having two quite distinct relational meanings: It can stand for both "in case" and "whether". What is meant here in the English text is "in case", while the German translation "ob" has the meaning of "whether". The alternative translation "falls" ("Fall" being the German noun for "case") brings the German text thus closer to the meaning of the English one. A post-translation consultation of IP lawyers in Germany was inconclusive regarding the question whether the initial translation containing "ob" would have any substantially different / detrimental effect in legal conflicts around compliance to CC licenses. It was discussed that a court having to decide on whether the license's conditions were adhered to, in a case where the content in question was not altered and no indication was made by the user (which could be seen as a breach of the condition to indicate "whether" a change was made, but not of a condition that requires indicating only "in case" a change was made) could interpret the ratio of the license to be satisfied with a non-existent indication being equivalent to a negative one. But it remains unsure, whether practical court cases would go this way. Be that as it may, the correction towards "falls" relieves users of a putative requirement to indicate the change status in every single case, even if no changes were made, one which the licenses actually do not intend. Therefore the correction is appropriate.

CCID-shinchpearson: added guidance on gender-neutral pronouns in CC0

This Translation Guide is intended to guide teams preparing linguistic translations of the CC legal tools in accordance with the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]]. It identifies common issues that arise when translating and proofing the text. Please review this guide when proofing your first draft before submitting to CC HQ. (This is not a complete list of potential issues, and review by CC HQ is still necessary before a translation can be finalized and published.)

This document will be continually updated and improved as we work with teams on their translations and identify additional issues: please send any comments and additions not already identified through the translation process to legal (at) creativecommons (dot) org.

'''Watch this explanatory video:'''

[[File:How-to-translate-licenses.png |link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhHPORrnMns]]

==General issues for all documents==
* Formatting should be kept the same—text that is bold or emphasized in the original English text should also be formatted that way in any translation. (Even if different jurisdictions would customarily do this emphasis differently.)

* All definitions should remain in the same order (even though the translated terms will no longer be in alphabetical order). Similarly, all license sections should remain in the same order. This is to ensure that cross-references to sections within the text remain the same, and also so that explanatory materials that refer to particular sections of the license are applicable to all translations of the license.

* All defined terms should be translated the same way and capitalized throughout the document.

* All defined terms should correspond as closely as possible to the English meaning. It is fine to replace these defined terms with longer phrases if it is necessary to get the correct meaning.

* No references to specific local legislation should be included; the legal meaning of all provisions should be kept the same as in the English version. (Where there are questions about something that does not have an appropriate linguistic translation, please point them out to Legal. If you are able to come to an appropriate solution within your community, we'd like to hear the decisions you made, and if you are stuck we will work with you to find something that comes closest to the meaning of the English text. )

* All substantive clauses from the original document should be included.

* Cross-references to other sections should be correct; this is particularly something to watch for when translating the 4.0 license suite.

* Numbering of sections should match with the original.

* Please check spelling and grammar.

* Connecting words should be checked: for example, "and" and "or" in English should line up with words with corresponding meaning in the translation.

* Include the navigational boxes indicating the availability of other languages. Please note that if you are translating from English, you should also include English on the "in other languages" box! Languages should appear on the list in that langauge—for example, "English", "Nederlands", "français ", "Ελληνικά".)

* Explanatory text should be kept outside the license, except for English terms quoted for clarity when no exact translation exists. We do encourage you to create or translate FAQs and other explanatory materials, however.

* Notes should be kept on the translation worksheet, available at [[Legal_Code_Translation_Policy#Supporting_documents]]. This worksheet will be the primary place where the legal team leaves comments on a translation in progress. You are encouraged to include other translation and process notes as a separate section, if they are not specific to a particular item in the chart or if they require more explanation.

===Using references===
If there are ports of earlier versions of the license in your language (in any jurisdiction), please note any differences in word choice or other elements that might otherwise be expected to be the same. (It is acceptable to choose differently, but should be for a reason that makes sense for the current project.) Where there are differences between multiple ports in a language used by multiple jurisdictions, please note the reasoning for the choice made.

Where there are terms that correspond to concepts in legal references, such as national copyright laws in jurisdictions which use your language, the Berne Convention, the Database Directive, other national/regional laws or international treaties, or legal scholarship in your language, please note where you are using these reference as a guide to word choices, or where you are making a different choice.

===Elements outside the legal code===
* Elements that are not part of the Legal code (as defined at [[Legal code]]) must still be translated, though it is not required that they correspond as strictly. This includes all notices and disclaimers on the page.

* Remember to change links to translations in your language, where applicable. For example, in the 4.0 licenses, the link back to the Commons Deed at the bottom of the document should link directly back to the Deed in your language. Similarly, if you have translated the Considerations page, the link to that page in the introductory paragraphs should be to your language's translation.

* Before a translation will be published, the Deed and the Chooser must also be translated. Even if you already have a translation in your language, you may wish to revisit these before the translation is published to make sure the word choice matches up with the choices made in the legal code.

* URLs in the document are protocol-relative; that is, they do not begin with "http:" or "https:". Links in the document should look like "//creativecommons.org".

==4.0 license suite issues==
* "ShareAlike" can be translated literally or in a way that explains its meaning, e.g. “distribution under the same conditions.”
* "Using Creative Commons Public Licenses": "Creative Commons Public Licenses" should all be capitalized as a defined phrase.
* "Copyright and Similar Rights": in English, this was deliberately written to be broader than "Copyright and Neighboring Rights", which appears in 3.0. Many jurisdictions have a set of rights often referred to as "Neighboring Rights", and a term corresponding to that set of rights was probably used in any 3.0 ports, and may appear in national copyright laws. The term in your 4.0 translation should not be that term--it should be broader, to include neighboring rights and others mentioned in the scope of the license. The term used in 4.0 should also be different from the translation for "Copyright and Related Rights" used in CC0 because the CC0 term has a slightly different scope.
* "Effective Technological Measures": this is not equivalent to "Technical Protection Measures" or "Digital Rights Management"/"DRM". The phrase was chosen in English to correspond exactly to those measures which carry legal penalties for circumvention (which is not necessarily true of all Technological Protection Measures). If there is a distinction between the two in reference in your languages, please use the one that corresponds to "Effective Technological Measures".
* "You": in the definition, please mention all forms of the word that appear in the translated document (for example, English mentions both "You" and "Your").
* "For the avoidance of doubt": this is an idiomatic English phrase. Where this phrase occurs, the translation should be something that indicates that the text which follows is not necessary and does not change the meaning of any other text in the license, but is included to ensure that the other licenses text is not misinterpreted.
* "Fair use" and "fair dealing": where these terms do not have equivalents in your language, you may wish to include the English phrase in quotations to be clear that they are referring to particular legal concepts that apply to some jurisdictions. Note that the terms are mentioned here as illustrative examples and should be used in all translations, even though the legal concepts are not applicable in all jurisdictions.
* If you are using terms that are abbreviated (such as "URI"), be sure that you also replace the abbreviation if you are using a translated term. You may wish to also include the English in parentheses (such as "URI") if it is commonly known or used in your language.
* "Adapted Material" not be translated using the word used for “derivative work” or “adaptation” under local copyright law because the defined term is intentionally designed to cover more than the legal definitions of “derivative work” or “adaptation” under copyright law.
* "Licensed Material:" In English, we chose “Material” over other terms like work and content because this particular version of the license can be applied to things like data, which are not copyrightable works. If possible, this term should be translated to avoid those terms for the same reasons.
* "Share:" In English, we chose “Share” because it is not a recognized term under copyright law. We did this so as to avoid the impression that only a single act under copyright law (e.g., reproduction) would trigger the license conditions.
* "Downstream recipients:" This term, which is used in Section 2A5, can be challenging to translate. In English, it has no legal meaning so the translation should just be something that conveys that the section is about people who receive the licensed material from someone other than the original licensor.
* "Section 2b2:" It is particularly important to translate this provision literally because other variations (e.g., translating it to say “not affected”) have different legal meaning.
* "Section 3a1:" It is very important that the translation for “including in modified form” not use terms that mean “adapting” under copyright law. Additionally, do not adjust in order to use the defined term for “Adapted Material”. This is intended to capture all modifications and not just those that would meet the standard to constitute a derivative work or adaptation under copyright.
* "Section 3a1A:" URI was intentionally chosen over URL because URI standard for “uniform resource identifier” and has a broader meaning.
* "Section 3a1B:" The translation here should not give the impression that this provision is limited to modifications that rise to the level of an adaptation under copyright.
* "Section 4a:" The language in this provision (“extract,” “reuse” “substantial portion” ) was chosen very carefully in English to track the relevant provisions of laws implementing the Database Directive. If applicable, please use the relevant terms from local implementations of this Directive. If there is no local implementation, please use something that translates the terms as literally as possible.
* "Section 8d:" Privileges and immunities are legal terms and should be translated as such.
* When creating the rest of the license suite, the language used should be identical in all six licenses (BY, BY-NC, etc.) except in the instances where the English varies.

==CC0 issues==
*Key Words: these words are most important to determining the meaning of the document. Please let us know if you have any questions around how to translate these words (particularly if there is not an exact translation, if the English meaning is not clear to you, or if the difference between the keyword and other similar terms is not clear to you).
** "Copyright and Related Rights": note that this is a different phrase than the language in 4.0 for "Copyright and Similar Rights"—these are not identical in scope and should probably be different in most translations.
** "Work"
** "Affirmer": the English version states that CC0 is "associated with" or "applied to" the work. Translations should choose words that convey that this is being done by an Affirmer who has authority to apply CC0 to the work.
** "License"
** "Waiver"
** "Statement of Purpose": this should be referred to as a proper name everywhere in the document, with the same wording that is used in the first section heading. It must be clear that references elsewhere in the text mean the "Statement of Purpose" section of the document, not simply any statement of purpose.

*The heading should be "CC0 1.0 Universal"
* In paragraphs 2 and 3, subsections i-iv should use the same wording in each place where the English text is also identical, unless there is a particular reason for them to be different.
* Use gender-neutral pronouns when referring to the Affirmer in the text, even when the English does not. This is a known error in the English original legal code.

Legal Tools Translation

CCID-shinchpearson:

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

2020-05-18T14:51:27Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

An invitation will be sent individually and via this list. Also, the debate will be announced via the lists of Wikimedia Serbia, Twitter and FB to involve more people who could be interested in the issue (legal experts, governmental institutions, NGOs especially).

Legal Tools Translation

2020-01-06T21:46:44Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

2019-12-23T21:05:52Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

2019-12-18T20:07:43Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legalcode errata

2019-12-16T22:21:01Z

CCID-shinchpearson: added German translation error

Despite our best efforts, spelling errors and other errata are sometimes included in the published legal code for licenses. However, Creative Commons does not amend legal code once published so that the licenses remain static, and not a moving target. This wiki page collects known errata for license legal code. If you discover a spelling error on a license, please send a message to legal@creativecommons.org.

=Errors by license=

==4.0 international license suite (English)==
===Validated HTML===
As originally published, the HTML for the license files did not validate. This was corrected; however, those with older copies of this file will have the incorrect file.

===Italics===
On 2019 September 24, we discovered that Section 2a5 of the 4.0 licenses had become italicized through unknown means. It was investigated and reversed back to its original formatting on 2019 November 12.

===Dutch official translation===
Section 1 incorrectly translates "Effective Technological Measures" as "Doeltreffende Technische Maatregelen"; this should read "Doeltreffende Technologische Maatregelen" as it does elsewhere in the license

===German official translation===
Section 3a1B imprecisely translates "indicate if You modified" as "angeben, ob Sie das"; this should read "angeben, falls Sie das"

==3.0 Unported (International) license suite==
===Section 1===
* '''Incorrect section reference.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA cites Section 1(f); it should cite Section 1(h).
** BY-SA 1(b)
* '''Incorrect word.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA says that Adaptation is defined "below"; this should read "above".
** BY-SA 1(b)
===Section 2===
===Section 3===
* '''Inconsistent language'''. In Section 3(d), BY-SA uses "described" instead of "set forth".
** BY-NC-SA 3(d)
* '''Section 8(f) reference incorrect; missing word.''' These sections include a reference to Section 8(f); they should instead refer to Section 8(e). Additionally, BY-NC-ND omits the word "Section", which should be present.
** BY-ND 3(c)(iii), BY-NC-ND 3(b).

===Section 4===
* '''Incorrect reference to "the Applicable License".''' In section 4(b), a reference to "the Applicable License" should instead be to "this License": "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties" should read "You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties".
**BY-SA 4(b), BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Missing "the".''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, there is a sentence reading in part "must include a copy of, or the URI, for Applicable License with every copy". This excerpt should instead read "must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy".
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Missing "the".''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-ND, "if a credit for all contributing authors of Collection appears" should read "if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collection appears".
**BY-NC-ND, 4(b)
* '''Missing numerals and capitalization.''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, each condition should be numbered with uppercase roman numerals. Additionally, the beginning of item (IV) should be capitalized. (The passage should read: "(I) You must include a copy of[...]"; "(II) You may not offer[...]"; "(III) You must keep intact[...]"; "(IV) When You Distribute[...]")
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Numbering of list items.''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, "only under: (i) the terms of this License" should instead read "only under the terms of: (i) this License".
** BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Capitalization.''' "Collection" should be lowercase both times in the last sentence of Section 4(b) in BY-SA; the excerpts should read "as incorporated in a collection" and "does not require the collection apart from the Adaptation itself".
** BY-SA 4(b)
* '''Comma placement.''' In the BY-NC and BY-NC-SA licenses, a comma is incorrectly placed. The text reading "and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b)" should instead read "and (iv), consistent with Section 3(b)".
** BY-NC 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d).
* '''Extra hyphen.''' In Section 4(c) of BY-NC-SA, "con-nection" is an error, and should be written as "connection" instead.
** BY-NC-SA 4(c)
* '''Typographical error: "Ssection".''' In Section 4(c), BY-SA contains the text "consistent with Ssection 3(b)"; "Ssection" should be "Section".
** BY-SA 4(c).
* '''Incorrect subsection reference.''' Section 4(d)(iii) of BY-NC references 4(c). It should reference 4(b).
** BY-NC 4(d)(iii)
* '''Typographical error.''' In Section 4, several licenses refer to "a Adaptation"; this should be "an Adaptation".
** BY 4(b), BY-NC, BY-SA 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d)

=== Section 5 ===

Legal Tools Translation

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legalcode errata

2019-12-05T15:49:28Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* 4.0 international license suite (English) */

Despite our best efforts, spelling errors and other errata are sometimes included in the published legal code for licenses. However, Creative Commons does not amend legal code once published so that the licenses remain static, and not a moving target. This wiki page collects known errata for license legal code. If you discover a spelling error on a license, please send a message to legal@creativecommons.org.

=Errors by license=

==4.0 international license suite (English)==
===Validated HTML===
As originally published, the HTML for the license files did not validate. This was corrected; however, those with older copies of this file will have the incorrect file.

===Italics===
On 2019 September 24, we discovered that Section 2a5 of the 4.0 licenses had become italicized through unknown means. It was investigated and reversed back to its original formatting on 2019 November 12.

===Dutch official translation===
Section 1 incorrectly translates "Effective Technological Measures" as "Doeltreffende Technische Maatregelen"; this should read "Doeltreffende Technologische Maatregelen" as it does elsewhere in the license

==3.0 Unported (International) license suite==
===Section 1===
* '''Incorrect section reference.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA cites Section 1(f); it should cite Section 1(h).
** BY-SA 1(b)
* '''Incorrect word.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA says that Adaptation is defined "below"; this should read "above".
** BY-SA 1(b)
===Section 2===
===Section 3===
* '''Inconsistent language'''. In Section 3(d), BY-SA uses "described" instead of "set forth".
** BY-NC-SA 3(d)
* '''Section 8(f) reference incorrect; missing word.''' These sections include a reference to Section 8(f); they should instead refer to Section 8(e). Additionally, BY-NC-ND omits the word "Section", which should be present.
** BY-ND 3(c)(iii), BY-NC-ND 3(b).

===Section 4===
* '''Incorrect reference to "the Applicable License".''' In section 4(b), a reference to "the Applicable License" should instead be to "this License": "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties" should read "You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties".
**BY-SA 4(b), BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Missing "the".''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, there is a sentence reading in part "must include a copy of, or the URI, for Applicable License with every copy". This excerpt should instead read "must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy".
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Missing "the".''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-ND, "if a credit for all contributing authors of Collection appears" should read "if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collection appears".
**BY-NC-ND, 4(b)
* '''Missing numerals and capitalization.''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, each condition should be numbered with uppercase roman numerals. Additionally, the beginning of item (IV) should be capitalized. (The passage should read: "(I) You must include a copy of[...]"; "(II) You may not offer[...]"; "(III) You must keep intact[...]"; "(IV) When You Distribute[...]")
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Numbering of list items.''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, "only under: (i) the terms of this License" should instead read "only under the terms of: (i) this License".
** BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Capitalization.''' "Collection" should be lowercase both times in the last sentence of Section 4(b) in BY-SA; the excerpts should read "as incorporated in a collection" and "does not require the collection apart from the Adaptation itself".
** BY-SA 4(b)
* '''Comma placement.''' In the BY-NC and BY-NC-SA licenses, a comma is incorrectly placed. The text reading "and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b)" should instead read "and (iv), consistent with Section 3(b)".
** BY-NC 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d).
* '''Extra hyphen.''' In Section 4(c) of BY-NC-SA, "con-nection" is an error, and should be written as "connection" instead.
** BY-NC-SA 4(c)
* '''Typographical error: "Ssection".''' In Section 4(c), BY-SA contains the text "consistent with Ssection 3(b)"; "Ssection" should be "Section".
** BY-SA 4(c).
* '''Incorrect subsection reference.''' Section 4(d)(iii) of BY-NC references 4(c). It should reference 4(b).
** BY-NC 4(d)(iii)
* '''Typographical error.''' In Section 4, several licenses refer to "a Adaptation"; this should be "an Adaptation".
** BY 4(b), BY-NC, BY-SA 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d)

=== Section 5 ===
* '''Omitted phrase.''' The phrase "And to the Fullest Extent Permitted by Applicable Law," should appear before "Licensor Offers the Work As-Is and Makes No Representations".
** BY, BY-SA, BY-NC, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND
* '''Omitted word ("to").''' In BY-NC-ND, "Unless Otherwise Mutually Agreed By the Parties" should read "Unless Otherwise Mutually Agreed To By the Parties".
** BY-NC-ND
* '''Spelling.''' "Merchantability" is misspelled as "Merchantibility" in five licenses.
** BY, BY-NC, BY-SA, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND.
* '''Inconsistent language.''' BY-NC-SA includes the text "This Exclusion May Not Apply To You"; it should read "Such Exclusion May Not Apply To You".
** BY-NC-SA
* '''Typographical error.''' Section 5 contains the text "OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS". This should read "OR THE PRESENCE OF ERRORS".

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

2019-11-14T20:43:04Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legalcode errata

2019-11-13T14:24:24Z

CCID-shinchpearson: added italics error and correction

Despite our best efforts, spelling errors and other errata are sometimes included in the published legal code for licenses. However, Creative Commons does not amend legal code once published so that the licenses remain static, and not a moving target. This wiki page collects known errata for license legal code. If you discover a spelling error on a license, please send a message to legal@creativecommons.org.

=Errors by license=

==4.0 international license suite (English)==
===Validated HTML===
As originally published, the HTML for the license files did not validate. This was corrected; however, those with older copies of this file will have the incorrect file.

===Italics===
On September 24, 2019, we discovered that Section 2a5 of the 4.0 licenses had become italicized through unknown means. It was investigated and reversed back to its original formatting on November 12 2019

==3.0 Unported (International) license suite==
===Section 1===
* '''Incorrect section reference.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA cites Section 1(f); it should cite Section 1(h).
** BY-SA 1(b)
* '''Incorrect word.''' Section 1(b) of BY-SA says that Adaptation is defined "below"; this should read "above".
** BY-SA 1(b)
===Section 2===
===Section 3===
* '''Inconsistent language'''. In Section 3(d), BY-SA uses "described" instead of "set forth".
** BY-NC-SA 3(d)
* '''Section 8(f) reference incorrect; missing word.''' These sections include a reference to Section 8(f); they should instead refer to Section 8(e). Additionally, BY-NC-ND omits the word "Section", which should be present.
** BY-ND 3(c)(iii), BY-NC-ND 3(b).

===Section 4===
* '''Incorrect reference to "the Applicable License".''' In section 4(b), a reference to "the Applicable License" should instead be to "this License": "You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties" should read "You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties".
**BY-SA 4(b), BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Missing "the".''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, there is a sentence reading in part "must include a copy of, or the URI, for Applicable License with every copy". This excerpt should instead read "must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy".
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Missing "the".''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-ND, "if a credit for all contributing authors of Collection appears" should read "if a credit for all contributing authors of the Collection appears".
**BY-NC-ND, 4(b)
* '''Missing numerals and capitalization.''' In section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, each condition should be numbered with uppercase roman numerals. Additionally, the beginning of item (IV) should be capitalized. (The passage should read: "(I) You must include a copy of[...]"; "(II) You may not offer[...]"; "(III) You must keep intact[...]"; "(IV) When You Distribute[...]")
**BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Numbering of list items.''' In Section 4(b) of BY-NC-SA, "only under: (i) the terms of this License" should instead read "only under the terms of: (i) this License".
** BY-NC-SA 4(b)
* '''Capitalization.''' "Collection" should be lowercase both times in the last sentence of Section 4(b) in BY-SA; the excerpts should read "as incorporated in a collection" and "does not require the collection apart from the Adaptation itself".
** BY-SA 4(b)
* '''Comma placement.''' In the BY-NC and BY-NC-SA licenses, a comma is incorrectly placed. The text reading "and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b)" should instead read "and (iv), consistent with Section 3(b)".
** BY-NC 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d).
* '''Extra hyphen.''' In Section 4(c) of BY-NC-SA, "con-nection" is an error, and should be written as "connection" instead.
** BY-NC-SA 4(c)
* '''Typographical error: "Ssection".''' In Section 4(c), BY-SA contains the text "consistent with Ssection 3(b)"; "Ssection" should be "Section".
** BY-SA 4(c).
* '''Incorrect subsection reference.''' Section 4(d)(iii) of BY-NC references 4(c). It should reference 4(b).
** BY-NC 4(d)(iii)
* '''Typographical error.''' In Section 4, several licenses refer to "a Adaptation"; this should be "an Adaptation".
** BY 4(b), BY-NC, BY-SA 4(c), BY-NC-SA 4(d)

=== Section 5 ===
* '''Omitted phrase.''' The phrase "And to the Fullest Extent Permitted by Applicable Law," should appear before "Licensor Offers the Work As-Is and Makes No Representations".
** BY, BY-SA, BY-NC, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND
* '''Omitted word ("to").''' In BY-NC-ND, "Unless Otherwise Mutually Agreed By the Parties" should read "Unless Otherwise Mutually Agreed To By the Parties".

* '''Spelling.''' "Merchantability" is misspelled as "Merchantibility" in five licenses.
** BY, BY-NC, BY-SA, BY-ND, BY-NC-ND.
* '''Inconsistent language.''' BY-NC-SA includes the text "This Exclusion May Not Apply To You"; it should read "Such Exclusion May Not Apply To You".
** BY-NC-SA
* '''Typographical error.''' Section 5 contains the text "OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS". This should read "OR THE PRESENCE OF ERRORS".
** All six licenses.

Legal Tools Translation

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

2019-10-22T21:45:22Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Translation status of the 4.0 licenses and of CC0 */

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Tools Translation

2019-09-17T18:28:12Z

CCID-shinchpearson:

=Welcome to the CC Translation Project!=
''Please note this is an evolving project and we welcome feedback.''

This is the main portal for projects translating the suite of six CC licenses and the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. For information on translating CC license deeds, visit [[Translating_CC_Deeds|Translating CC Deeds]]. If you are interested in translating the licenses or other legal tools, please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]].

==Translations Generally==
Beginning with version 4.0, CC is supporting official linguistic translations of its six (6) core licenses. '''Please note that translations involve linguistic translation only—they do not adapt the licenses or CC0 to account for local law.''' As of December 2012, CC also supports official translations of CC0 version 1.0.

Please see the [[Legal Code Translation Policy]] for more information on how to start a project to translate CC0 or the CC licenses officially into your local language. CC's policy is to support a single official translation into any particular language, absent a compelling reason otherwise. All legal code translation projects must be approved by Creative Commons in advance; please do not start a legal code translation project without first contacting Creative Commons.

(For version 3.0 of the licenses, CC supports unofficial translations only. These are not official and not suitable for adoption, but are provided solely for information purposes. '''Please do not use translations of the 3.0 international licenses—licensors should not link to or otherwise identify any of the unofficial translations when applying licenses to their materials.''' Those interested in translating CC licenses should join a translation project for the 4.0 licenses. If you would like to read the process for unofficial translations of 3.0, it has been moved [[Unofficial_translation_process_for_3.0|to a separate page]] for historical information.)

==Translation Guide==
As we work with teams on translation projects, we are developing collections of advice and issues to guide future teams' efforts. These include general proofing advice, as well as common errors, and words and phrases that are of key importance or have presented difficulty in each particular legal tool.

*Read the [[Legal tools translation guide]].

Legal Code Translation Policy

2019-09-17T18:25:49Z

CCID-shinchpearson: updated changelog

[[MOU and Policies Summary|Return to Summary page]]

Creative Commons has established the following Official Legal Code Translation Process and Policy (“Legal Code Translation Policy”) to facilitate adoption and understanding of our licenses as tools for sharing creative works and data. This Legal Code Translation Policy was established as of 2013 October 29 and is updated and revised by Creative Commons in its discretion. Any non-trivial revisions will be logged and dated at the bottom of this page.

'''Watch this explanatory video:'''

[[File:How-to-translate-licenses.png |link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhHPORrnMns]]

==Overview==
The legal code for the international Creative Commons licenses and for CC0 is designed for use worldwide, without any need for adaptation to local laws. For these tools to reach their fullest potential, CC encourages linguistic translations of the legal codes and deeds into as many languages as possible. This page describes the policy and process for developing official translations of Creative Commons legal code.

The process for developing new translations (each is called a “translation project”) is coordinated and overseen by CC’s legal team in collaboration with the global network team. Creative Commons reserves the exclusive right to approve and host official translations of its legal tools, as well as to modify this process and adjust translation projects at any time. Per our policy, each official translation is hosted at a specified uniform resource indicator on CC’s website. The English original and the official translations will all be treated as equivalents. Translations of CC licenses that are not made in accordance with this policy are unauthorized modifications of our licenses per the [[Modifying_the_CC_licenses#License_Modification_Policy|License Modification Policy]].

==Translation process==
===Step 1. Beginning new translation projects.===
Anyone may initiate a translation project with CC. To express interest, please email legal [at] creativecommons [dot] org identifying the language you would like to coordinate.

Note that CC’s policy is to publish a single, official translation for any given language unless an important reason exists to allow more than one. This mirrors CC’s policy for translations of deeds. Anyone wanting to coordinate translation projects is expected to accommodate and encourage participation of others in the CC community, including from other jurisdictions where the language is spoken. CC will help coordinate this collaboration.

Once a new translation project is begun, CC will update its [[Legal_Tools_Translation|public tracking chart]] and create and populate a language-specific translation page for public tracking, which will be continually updated by CC throughout the translation process.

===Step 2. Preparing the translation draft.===
Please refer to the [[Legal_tools_translation_guide|legal tools translation guide]] while creating your translation because it contains information about common issues that arise when translating the text of the licenses and CC0. When translating the 4.0 license suite, please begin with BY-NC-SA using the worksheet [[Legal_Code_Translation_Policy#Supporting_documents|here]]. Typically, teams begin only with BY-NC-SA and defer creating the other five licenses until after the public comment period. If you are translating CC0, use this [[Legal_Code_Translation_Policy#Supporting_documents|worksheet]].

Once the draft is complete, the translation team should send it to legal[at]creativecommons[dot]org, along with a writeup of the following:
*Explanation of word choice for the following terms:
**For version 4.0:
***Adapted Material
***Copyright and Similar Rights
***Downstream recipients
***Licensed Material
***Share
***ShareAlike
**For CC0:
***Copyright and Related Rights
***Affirmer
***Work
***License
***Waiver
*Description of which concepts were challenging to translate and how decisions were made
*Explanation of variations compared to terminology used on deed translation
*Explanation of variations compared to terminology used in ports of same language
*Names of translators

CC Legal will use this explanation during their Step 3 review, and will add it to language wiki page as part of public documentation of translation process.

===Step 3. Review of draft.===
CC Legal will conduct a review of the draft translation using the following checklist:
#Use Google Translate to read through from top to bottom, looking for glaring errors like commercial uses allowed in NC license, for example.
#Use Google Translate to ensure there are no references to specific local legislation.
#Check that numbering and ordering of sections matches the English.
#Check that cross-references within text are correct.
#Make sure each defined term is in the same order as the English, and uses same capitalization throughout document.
#Go through relevant issues list, checking draft on each point using Google Translate and asking questions of team as needed: 4.0 issues list [[Legal_tools_translation_guide#4.0_license_suite_issues|here]], CC0 issues list [[Legal_tools_translation_guide#CC0_issues|here]]
#Check draft license translation against translations of deed to see if any notable changes in terminology. If yes, ask team for more information.

CC Legal will correspond with the translation team to clarify questions and make changes until a final draft translation is completed. Note that this step will reveal whether there are updates needed for the deed translations. The translation team is responsible for ensuring that the deed is fully translated. For help translating the deeds, see the instructions [[Translating_CC_Deeds|here]].

===Step 4. Public comment period.===
The public comment period is designed to ensure the highest quality linguistic translations possible. The translation team posts the draft on the CC wiki and in appropriate channels for public comment and feedback for a reasonable period of time (typically about 30-45 days, but may be shortened or extended if circumstances warrant). We encourage teams to seek as much input as possible, including by reaching out directly to local experts where possible.

At the conclusion of the public comment period, the translation team sends CC Legal a written summary of input received and how issues were resolved, along with the revised translation. CC Legal reviews the public comment summary from the translation team and asks questions as needed.

===Step 5. Creating the rest of the license suite.===
Note that this step only applies to translation of the version 4.0 CC license suite. Once all open issues are resolved with CC Legal after public comment, the translation team should create the other 5 licenses in the suite. For help in this process, refer to this [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/d/d1/Building_the_4.0_Suite.pdf guide]. Please consult CC Legal if you have any questions about word choices or anything else when creating the rest of the suite.

===Step 6. Readying files for staging server.===
At this point, the team converts the file(s) to HTML and sends the HTML file(s) to legal [at] creativecommons [dot] org. CC puts the file(s) on the staging server and sends the link(s) to the translation team.

''NOTE: To create the HTML files, we recommend using the English legal code pages - [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode] et. al. - as templates for your own. You can access the HTML page for each license in Github, where the files are stored with comments.

*BY-NC-SA is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nc-sa_4.0.html here]
*BY is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by_4.0.html here]
*BY-SA is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-sa_4.0.html here]
*BY-NC-ND is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nc-nd_4.0.html here]
*BY-NC is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nc_4.0.html here]
*BY-ND is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nd_4.0.html here]
*CC0 is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/zero_1.0.html here]

Copy and paste the appropriate license text into a file using a text editor or HTML editor. Then, copy and paste your appropriate translation text over the English text, being careful not to copy over the existing HTML tags, and re-check the code to ensure that there are no mistakes. Please ensure that all the XHTML files are saved using UTF-8 encoding, which generally will be the default. Then save each file separately according to the following convention:''
*''CC0'':
** ''zero_1.0_[language code].html''

''(For example, "zero_1.0_fr.html" would be the naming for the French translation.)''

*''4.0''
**''by_4.0_[language code].html''
**''by-sa_4.0_[language code].html''
**'' [...]''

===Step 7. Final review.===

The translation team and CC Legal conduct a final review of all files on the staging server. This review should involve a check of both the substance and formatting of the files.

During this final review, CC Legal will use the following checklist:
#Use Google Translate to read through from top to bottom, looking for glaring errors like commercial uses allowed in NC license, for example. [Note: in the case of 4.0, this may be the first time the translations of licenses other than BY-NC-SA have been reviewed, so pay special attention to the changes made to those files.]
#Pay special attention to the license titles - are they correct and consistent throughout each file? Compare to titles on license deeds.
#Check that formatting appears correct as compared to English (same number of provisions, identical section numbering, bold font)
#Check that language list contains all published translations, including English
#Check all links in the files
#Check that deeds are fully translated
#For version 4.0, cut and paste each file into a Word doc and run the following comparisons:
#*BY-NC-SA to BY; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/c/c4/Making_BY_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-SA; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/6/64/Making_BY-SA_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-NC; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/6/6f/Making_BY-NC_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-ND; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/a/a2/Making_BY-ND_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-NC-ND; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/7/70/Making_BY-NC-ND_%28comparison%29.pdf this]

This stage continues until all identified problems are resolved.

===Step 8. General Counsel sign-off.===
Once the translation team and CC have signed off on all files, CC Legal sends the file(s) to General Counsel for final sign-off. CC Legal will coordinate details for blog post announcement with translation team at this point.

===Step 9. Pull request submitted.===
Once the General Counsel signs off, CC Legal submits a pull request on Github for the CC tech team with details about how language should be listed in the language lists on the footer of other published translations.

===Step 10. Publication.===
Once the pull request is merged by the tech team, CC will alert the translation team and publish announcement on the CC blog and social media. CC Legal will update wiki tracking sheet with publication dates. Translation team should update Transifex so that deeds link to published translation rather than English legal code.

Legal Code Translation Policy

2019-09-17T18:24:39Z

CCID-shinchpearson: /* Step 6. Readying files for staging server. */

[[MOU and Policies Summary|Return to Summary page]]

Creative Commons has established the following Official Legal Code Translation Process and Policy (“Legal Code Translation Policy”) to facilitate adoption and understanding of our licenses as tools for sharing creative works and data. This Legal Code Translation Policy was established as of 2013 October 29 and is updated and revised by Creative Commons in its discretion. Any non-trivial revisions will be logged and dated at the bottom of this page.

'''Watch this explanatory video:'''

[[File:How-to-translate-licenses.png |link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhHPORrnMns]]

==Overview==
The legal code for the international Creative Commons licenses and for CC0 is designed for use worldwide, without any need for adaptation to local laws. For these tools to reach their fullest potential, CC encourages linguistic translations of the legal codes and deeds into as many languages as possible. This page describes the policy and process for developing official translations of Creative Commons legal code.

The process for developing new translations (each is called a “translation project”) is coordinated and overseen by CC’s legal team in collaboration with the global network team. Creative Commons reserves the exclusive right to approve and host official translations of its legal tools, as well as to modify this process and adjust translation projects at any time. Per our policy, each official translation is hosted at a specified uniform resource indicator on CC’s website. The English original and the official translations will all be treated as equivalents. Translations of CC licenses that are not made in accordance with this policy are unauthorized modifications of our licenses per the [[Modifying_the_CC_licenses#License_Modification_Policy|License Modification Policy]].

==Translation process==
===Step 1. Beginning new translation projects.===
Anyone may initiate a translation project with CC. To express interest, please email legal [at] creativecommons [dot] org identifying the language you would like to coordinate.

Note that CC’s policy is to publish a single, official translation for any given language unless an important reason exists to allow more than one. This mirrors CC’s policy for translations of deeds. Anyone wanting to coordinate translation projects is expected to accommodate and encourage participation of others in the CC community, including from other jurisdictions where the language is spoken. CC will help coordinate this collaboration.

Once a new translation project is begun, CC will update its [[Legal_Tools_Translation|public tracking chart]] and create and populate a language-specific translation page for public tracking, which will be continually updated by CC throughout the translation process.

===Step 2. Preparing the translation draft.===
Please refer to the [[Legal_tools_translation_guide|legal tools translation guide]] while creating your translation because it contains information about common issues that arise when translating the text of the licenses and CC0. When translating the 4.0 license suite, please begin with BY-NC-SA using the worksheet [[Legal_Code_Translation_Policy#Supporting_documents|here]]. Typically, teams begin only with BY-NC-SA and defer creating the other five licenses until after the public comment period. If you are translating CC0, use this [[Legal_Code_Translation_Policy#Supporting_documents|worksheet]].

Once the draft is complete, the translation team should send it to legal[at]creativecommons[dot]org, along with a writeup of the following:
*Explanation of word choice for the following terms:
**For version 4.0:
***Adapted Material
***Copyright and Similar Rights
***Downstream recipients
***Licensed Material
***Share
***ShareAlike
**For CC0:
***Copyright and Related Rights
***Affirmer
***Work
***License
***Waiver
*Description of which concepts were challenging to translate and how decisions were made
*Explanation of variations compared to terminology used on deed translation
*Explanation of variations compared to terminology used in ports of same language
*Names of translators

CC Legal will use this explanation during their Step 3 review, and will add it to language wiki page as part of public documentation of translation process.

===Step 3. Review of draft.===
CC Legal will conduct a review of the draft translation using the following checklist:
#Use Google Translate to read through from top to bottom, looking for glaring errors like commercial uses allowed in NC license, for example.
#Use Google Translate to ensure there are no references to specific local legislation.
#Check that numbering and ordering of sections matches the English.
#Check that cross-references within text are correct.
#Make sure each defined term is in the same order as the English, and uses same capitalization throughout document.
#Go through relevant issues list, checking draft on each point using Google Translate and asking questions of team as needed: 4.0 issues list [[Legal_tools_translation_guide#4.0_license_suite_issues|here]], CC0 issues list [[Legal_tools_translation_guide#CC0_issues|here]]
#Check draft license translation against translations of deed to see if any notable changes in terminology. If yes, ask team for more information.

CC Legal will correspond with the translation team to clarify questions and make changes until a final draft translation is completed. Note that this step will reveal whether there are updates needed for the deed translations. The translation team is responsible for ensuring that the deed is fully translated. For help translating the deeds, see the instructions [[Translating_CC_Deeds|here]].

===Step 4. Public comment period.===
The public comment period is designed to ensure the highest quality linguistic translations possible. The translation team posts the draft on the CC wiki and in appropriate channels for public comment and feedback for a reasonable period of time (typically about 30-45 days, but may be shortened or extended if circumstances warrant). We encourage teams to seek as much input as possible, including by reaching out directly to local experts where possible.

At the conclusion of the public comment period, the translation team sends CC Legal a written summary of input received and how issues were resolved, along with the revised translation. CC Legal reviews the public comment summary from the translation team and asks questions as needed.

===Step 5. Creating the rest of the license suite.===
Note that this step only applies to translation of the version 4.0 CC license suite. Once all open issues are resolved with CC Legal after public comment, the translation team should create the other 5 licenses in the suite. For help in this process, refer to this [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/d/d1/Building_the_4.0_Suite.pdf guide]. Please consult CC Legal if you have any questions about word choices or anything else when creating the rest of the suite.

===Step 6. Readying files for staging server.===
At this point, the team converts the file(s) to HTML and sends the HTML file(s) to legal [at] creativecommons [dot] org. CC puts the file(s) on the staging server and sends the link(s) to the translation team.

''NOTE: To create the HTML files, we recommend using the English legal code pages - [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode] et. al. - as templates for your own. You can access the HTML page for each license in Github, where the files are stored with comments.

*BY-NC-SA is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nc-sa_4.0.html here]
*BY is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by_4.0.html here]
*BY-SA is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-sa_4.0.html here]
*BY-NC-ND is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nc-nd_4.0.html here]
*BY-NC is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nc_4.0.html here]
*BY-ND is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/by-nd_4.0.html here]
*CC0 is [https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org/blob/master/docroot/legalcode/zero_1.0.html here]

Copy and paste the appropriate license text into a file using a text editor or HTML editor. Then, copy and paste your appropriate translation text over the English text, being careful not to copy over the existing HTML tags, and re-check the code to ensure that there are no mistakes. Please ensure that all the XHTML files are saved using UTF-8 encoding, which generally will be the default. Then save each file separately according to the following convention:''
*''CC0'':
** ''zero_1.0_[language code].html''

''(For example, "zero_1.0_fr.html" would be the naming for the French translation.)''

*''4.0''
**''by_4.0_[language code].html''
**''by-sa_4.0_[language code].html''
**'' [...]''

===Step 7. Final review.===

The translation team and CC Legal conduct a final review of all files on the staging server. This review should involve a check of both the substance and formatting of the files.

During this final review, CC Legal will use the following checklist:
#Use Google Translate to read through from top to bottom, looking for glaring errors like commercial uses allowed in NC license, for example. [Note: in the case of 4.0, this may be the first time the translations of licenses other than BY-NC-SA have been reviewed, so pay special attention to the changes made to those files.]
#Pay special attention to the license titles - are they correct and consistent throughout each file? Compare to titles on license deeds.
#Check that formatting appears correct as compared to English (same number of provisions, identical section numbering, bold font)
#Check that language list contains all published translations, including English
#Check all links in the files
#Check that deeds are fully translated
#For version 4.0, cut and paste each file into a Word doc and run the following comparisons:
#*BY-NC-SA to BY; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/c/c4/Making_BY_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-SA; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/6/64/Making_BY-SA_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-NC; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/6/6f/Making_BY-NC_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-ND; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/a/a2/Making_BY-ND_%28comparison%29.pdf this]
#*BY-NC-SA to BY-NC-ND; compare to [https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/7/70/Making_BY-NC-ND_%28comparison%29.pdf this]

This stage continues until all identified problems are resolved.

===Step 8. General Counsel sign-off.===
Once the translation team and CC have signed off on all files, CC Legal sends the file(s) to General Counsel for final sign-off. CC Legal will coordinate details for blog post announcement with translation team at this point.

===Step 9. Pull request submitted.===
Once the General Counsel signs off, CC Legal submits a pull request on Github for the CC tech team with details about how language should be listed in the language lists on the footer of other published translations.

===Step 10. Publication.===
Once the pull request is merged by the tech team, CC will alert the translation team and publish announcement on the CC blog and social media. CC Legal will update wiki tracking sheet with publication dates. Translation team should update Transifex so that deeds link to published translation rather than English legal code.
