Translation process for 4.0
4.0:
Translation leads from CC China Mainland and CC Taiwan prepared in May 2016 the initial drafts and shared them with the group via email. Translation team members reviewed the initial drafts and made their comments on the document directly. Drafts were sent to the Regional Coordinator and HQ. The public comments were done via the mailing lists and websites of participating affiliate teams and the CC Asia Pacific mailing list. Comments were reviewed by the translation team members. The translation team discussed the comments at the Asia Pacific Regional Meeting in Beijing on Jul 2, 2016 (see the discussion notes). Final drafts will be sent to Regional Coordinator and HQ.
The group also invited feedback and contribution from other teams such as CC Singapore and CC Macau, which support populations who speak Chinese languages in their local communities.

Key translation decisions and challenges
Traditional:
There are three places where the team decided to use the slash notation, to accommodate the differences between the language used in Taiwan and the language used in Hong Kong (though both are Traditional Chinese). The slash notations are used for "Copyright and Similar Rights", "Moral rights", and "Attribution" when these terms first appear in the licenses:
- Copyright and Similar Rights is translated into「著作權及相似權利」 / 「版權及相似權利」
- Moral rights is translated into 著作人格權 / 精神權利
- Attribution is translated into 姓名標示 / 署名
