Today Translate.org.za and Creative Commons South Africa are proud to announce the availability of CC license in Zulu, Afrikaans and Northern Sotho.

What this means for you is that you can now license your creative works using one of those languages try it now in Afrikaans, Zulu or Northern Sotho. Follow the instructions and you'll have a valid Creative Commons license, no English required.

Here as examples of how you could use these licenses.

• You've just written a new Zulu song and want people to share it, but you want them to also share the new work they create from yours. So you choose the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 South Africa (Zulu) license
• You want to make sure your speeches are freely available. But you don't want anyone changing them and putting words in your mouth. You choose the Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5 South Africa (Northern Sotho), the only problem with this choice is that translation is a form of derivative work so would not be allowed. A pitty since your speeches need to be available to all those people who cannot understand Northern Sotho.
