STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
To support and encourage multilingual content management in the CM Professionals community. This community will provide a base for members interested in challenges of internationalization (getting a site ready to handle multilingual content), localization (adapting to the culture and language of each locale served), and translation (including workflow tools to manage the translation process).

SCOPE OF WORK
We will support the processes for globalizing the CM Professionals website.

DELIVERABLES
The main deliverables will be provided by the website committee with oversight and translation contributions from the Globalization Community.

  1. CM Professionals website navigation in nine languages in time for the CM Professionals Fall 2006 Summit on Globalization.
  2. CM Professionals website responding properly to browsers with their Accept-Language header set to one of the supported languages.
