>ICANN translation.  Perhaps not even the "standard languages" though it is fine to start there.  I feel it is an imperative that we find local tech savvy partners to do what is perhaps better called "interpretations" than "translations".  Many words/sentences will be better interpreted in local lingo than translated (which would feel foreign).
