View source for Increasing Multi-Lingual Capability

== Languages we'd like to have ==
* Arabic
* Japanese
* French
* Hindi

== Strategies ==
* Encouraging personal pages to include language capabilities, so ICANN community members know where to find linguistic support
** Add this feature to the Create a Person Page form and use hypertext to follow desired pages for particular languages with link counts. This would count the number of people able to help and enable easy follow-up to move the project forward.
* Contacting universities to hold translate- and edit-a-thons
* Add a "Languages" section to Person pages
* Translate minimum materials such as “What is ICANN wiki” and “How you can edit it” in case there are volunteers who can support; or holding an additional Edit-a-thon of a local language when the ICANN meeting is held at the region or the country.
* Integrate a translation service like Google translate into the wiki as an add on feature. <ref>[https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/01/09/you-can-now-use-google-translate-to-translate-articles-on-wikipedia/ You can now use Google Translate to translate articles on Wikipedia]</ref>
** Possible issues with technical jargon in some languages
