<p class="MsoNormal">When looking into the document Status update EWG, only page 53 and 80 mention the word &#8222;translation&#8221;. In annex A (page 61) I don&#8217;t see any indication of fields allowing the storage of translated or transliterated contact information. Perhaps
 this is something we should emphasize a bit more in our discussions. If none is preparing a protocol / storage for translated/transliterated information our whole process does not have any effect. I know this looks quite pessimistic but it is a fact in none
