Dear Dr. Hsueh-hua Chen,
Thank you for your interest in the Dublin Core, and in the metadata registry
activity. We do plan to provide support for traditional Chinese. However,
the translations have not been done at this time. If possible I would like
to include the traditional Chinese translation in the phase 1 installation,
which is scheduled for the late summer / early fall timeframe. Most of the
CJK translations are being done by Dr. Shigeo Sugimoto (and staff) at the
University of Library and Information Science in Tsukuba Japan. Would you
be interested in helping with the Chinese translation?
Thanks again for your interest.
Best Regards,
Harry Wagner
