FWIW, I note that Farzeneh offered to translate to Farsi on personal level
which is fine as it's a separate arrangement (those can be published under
community translated versions with the appropriate disclaimer). However, I
will strongly advice against "formerly" going out of the official UN
languages.
If indeed we want to do that then we should just make a call for people to
suggest more languages and there shouldn't be any reason to disqualify a
language by the number of people speaking it. I hope ICANN is ready to foot
the bills because I will like it be translated to a few languages as well;
Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo ;-)
Cheers!
