Dear WebAIM list folks,

Since many people are on both the WebAIM list and WAI lists, we don't usually cross-post messages from the WAI Interest Group lists (<https://www.w3.org/WAI/IG/#mailinglist>) here. However, it's been a while and we wanted to make sure that you get this info about translations before GAAD.

We are excited to announce that W3C now has accessibility resources in 35 languages. Thanks to the translators!

Along with Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) *this Thursday* 20 May, we are promoting W3C accessibility translations:
All WAI Translations
https://www.w3.org/WAI/translations/

Would you consider ways to help with outreach? Maybe:
* Including news of WAI translations in GAAD sessions
* Retweeting w3c_wai
* Tweeting in your language
* Sharing via LinkedIn and other media
* ...

Draft tweets planned for later this week:

Also, if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing to more accessibility translations, please point them to:

*More WAI News*:
You can get WAI news from:
* WAI Announcement e-mail list
* Atom/RSS feed
* @w3c_wai on Twitter
To subscribe, see:
Get WAI News
https://www.w3.org/WAI/news/subscribe/

We keep the WAI *Announcement* list (that is different from the WAI IG Discussion List) very low traffic so the announcements get to you without clutter. Usually *less than 3 e-mails per month*.

We encourage you to subscribe to get WAI news, since we usually don't "cross post" to the WebAIM list to avoid duplication for people on both lists.

Thanks much for any help spreading WAI News!

Best regards,
~Shawn
