Set official languages for People Powered so that every communication, resource, and material produced is fairly translated in the official languages. For now, set 4 official languages: English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Conversation with Clara Bois
I agree with your points Daniel. Do you have a suggestion of framework that we could use?
Here is a first attempt at a possible framework for translations/interpretations.
If there are significant resources for translations and interpretations, I suggest to be generous and use as many relevant languages as possible.
If resources are limited, I suggest to consider 4 different situations.
1) Very important short documents (e.g. a PeoplePowered declaration, manifesto, open letter, etc.)
If possible, translate to all the languages of PP member associations.
2) Other documents: Translate to languages upon request of member associations and available resources.
3) Regular discussion meetings and seminars: Continue with the current model of meetings in English and in Spanish, and add a third language if needed.
4) Large online forums (webinars, annual general meetings, etc.): Provide simultaneous interpretation in different languages depending on available resources and a critical mass of participants who request translation.
