Note: Translations are to help people understand Creative Commons licenses by allowing them to read the licenses in their own languages. The English licenses will remain the legally controlling versions unless otherwise noted.

Translation Process

Who: Translation teams may be composed of one or more Affiliate Teams from the CC Affiliate Network and other volunteers within the Creative Commons Community who are interested in making the licenses accessible to a wider community. We strongly suggest having at least one lawyer fluent in both languages on the team because words can often have very specific legal meanings.

Step 1: The translation team works on a first draft, literal translation of the international CC licenses or CC0. Contact the team to find out how to contribute to the translation.

Step 2:

Protocol for Official Translation - coming soon
