Over the past year or so I've been getting a number of translations for the pattern cards (which are abbreviated versions of the patterns). In fact we now have Spanish translations for all 136 patterns (<a href="http://www.publicsphereproject.org/patterns_spanish" class="">http://www.publicsphereproject.org/patterns_spanish</a>), approximately 90 in Mandarin (http://www.publicsphereproject.org/patterns_chinese), and smaller numbers of translations in Russian, French, Korean, German, Serbian, Hebrew, and Greek. It now looks like we have some interest in Arabic and Portuguese as well. (To see the current state of the various translations, go to http://www.publicsphereproject.org/ and click on the PATTERN LANGUAGE tab just under the Public Sphere Project logo at the top of the page.)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; direction: ltr; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;" class="">Hola Doug,<br class=""><br class="">It's an interesting question for linguistic inquiry. "Lenguaje" is certainly appropriate; as for patterns, "patrones" is indeed correct, but "pautas" could be an alternative that sounds to me more like patterns as guidelines. I think whichever word is familiar to the most readers, and that might be patrones. Thanks for the link, I'll explore further.
