Seun I do not understand your position at all. Are you against providing some guidance and assistance to people of Iran which has been seriously suffered by a unilatéral political motivation. Are you acting against 80 million Iranian people What is your agenda pls ? What is your mission pls?¨ Whom you defending pls Are you defending ICANN all other countries under sanction receive the document in their language Except IRAN Pls kindly be fair or kindly do not interfere with the legitimate request of Iranian community Regards Kavouss 2017-01-21 10:21 GMT+01:00 farzaneh badii <farzaneh.badii@gmail.com>:
Sorry Seun, I was not clear. I am not suggesting to translate on my personal level. I am doing too many things at ICANN on my personal level. I will end up doing it if this group does not support, but I am afraid I have too much to do and really cannot add to it by translating the questions and answers.
Translating the questions and answers from English to Farsi and vice versa has a very justifiable reason. Iran is definitely affected by US sanctions which might affect their access to domain names and official language of Iran is Farsi. If any other country's language is not listed as a UN language but is affected by OFAC and sanctions, that language should be included too.
We don't even know how many answers we are going to receive how can we start talking about expenses!
I would not argue it's about a number of people speaking, but the people who could be affected.
Thanks
Farzaneh

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! Sent from my LG G4 Kindly excuse brevity and typos

Dear Greg I support Farzaneh for translation into Persian(Farsi) due to the fact that among over 130 Millions speaking that language a very limited are using Other languages than Persian.

Kavouss:
Each UN agency has its own set of languages. There is not a single "UN official language" set. There are also distinctions between official languages, working languages, and other types of language sets (such as being used for translation to achieve a wider audience for publications).
