Translating CC Deeds
The license engine, deeds and legal code hosted at creativecommons.org are all translated directly by CC jurisdiction partner institutions. While there are usually people at the partner institutions who handle these translations, you can request to become a member of the translation team for any given language using the directions below under For Translators.
Creative Commons uses Transifex.net to manage translations for the web site and our open source software projects. Information on translating using gettext and poEdit is also available.
For CC Project Leads
