Zero to Digital Resources
The goal of the Translation Commons Zero to Digital Guidelines is to enable Indigenous language communities to improve their access to information. These resources are solutions-oriented and focus on actionable deliverables that will help your community organize, plan and carry out the digitization of your language.
The Zero to Digital series is an ongoing project developed by Translation Commons in support of the United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL). The series is continually expanded and updated and is being translated to French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic. Come back to this page periodically to see what is new.

The full version is the original version and generally includes more detailed instructions and examples. The abridged version will be condensed, with fewer examples and details, and may have updates where it is warranted.
