TDWG Vocabularies Translations
TDWG Vocabularies Translations
This site serves primarily as a means to serve TDWG JSON-LD metadata using the correct Content-Type headers. Raw data served directly from GitHub always is sent with a text/plain content type. This minimal site (using GitHub Pages) serves files using a content type based on the file extension.
For the main landing page, see the repository readme visible at the repository landing page.
Multilingual translations
Note to developers
We will try to keep the URLs linked below stable so that they can be periodically harvested by applications.
The CSV files are updated dynamically via the CrowdIn translation system and should contain the most recent updates. The JSON-LD files are updated periodically, but may lag behind the CSV files. The were last updated on 2023-11-20.
We are still working on acknowledging the translators in the machine-readable metadata.

Translators acknowledgements
Thanks to all of the translators who have given their time to make our standards more broadly usable around the world. The names of the volunteer translators are given below along with the vocabularies they were involved in translating. If you use any of the translations in an application, please acknowledge the translators appropriately.
If you would like to finish any of the incomplete translations or add a translation in your language, please contact Steve Baskauf. Also contact him if you find any errors or ommissions.
