Literature and Translations

Vision
That ALL OA LITERATURE will be translated  into all languages where OA exists

Translation Guidelines

OA has a two-step licensing process for translation approval

License 1 gives permission to translate a particular piece of Literature and to circulate the translation for the purpose of validating its accuracy.

License 2 gives permission to print and distribute the approved translation, and is also used to assign rights to the translated work when your OA group or service body is distributing existing translations that don’t have license agreements.
