Translations of transition materials




Brasileiro/Portugues

  • And hot off the press, we now have the Portuguese translation of the Transition Initiatives Primer. Get it here. The translation is primarily aimed at Brazilians, though the Portuguese should certainly find it usable.
  • Translated by Christina Pinheiro, revised by May East, with the support of Monica Picavea from Fundacao Alphaville - thank you all for your sterling efforts.
  • Com multo agradecimento, e grande respeito aos nossos amigos em transition em honra de seu trabalho!

Dutch

  • Get the Dutch version of the Transition Initiatives Primer here, exquisitely translated for our transitioner friends based in Flanders and the Netherlands.
  • Thank you to Jeanneke van de Ven and Hugo Klip for this work - and if you don't speak Dutch, I suggest that you give this version a wide berth...

*We live in extraordinary times, and one manifestation of this is the community-led translation into Dutch of the Transition Handbook. Fifty people across the region who wanted a Dutch version came together and collaboratively translated it - outstanding piece of work. And you can even download the chapters online.

Japanese

  • Thank you to Hide Enomoto from Fujino in Japan for translating the Primer into Japanese. Hide is responsible for coordinating the growing network of transitioners in Japan. Get the Japanese version here.

Francais

  • Thank you to Maxime David from Paris for translating a large section of the Primer into French. Get it here.
  • You could also check out an interesting Montreal-based French blog on post peak oil living.

Italiano
