The '''ICANNWiki Translation Initiative''' is a long-term project to enhance global understanding of key concepts by providing content in Spanish and Chinese. ICANNWiki is partnering with organizations across Asia and South America to build standalone, interconnected wikis in these languages, with the goal of expanding into Arabic, French and Swahili by 2020. Providing content in languages other than English unites our community in a shared sense of understanding. Outside of simultaneous interpretation available at conferences, our initiative provides a service rarely seen within the Internet governance sphere: factual, unbiased content in multiple languages.
