Strategies

- 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.
