Abstract :

This document provides an update on the activities undertaken by the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) to ensure the use of the six official languages of the Union on an equal footing, in line with Resolution 154 (Rev. Bucharest, 2022) of the Plenipotentiary Conference and relevant WTDC resolutions.
It highlights recent progress related to:
- multilingual access to ITU-D digital content;
- the use of machine translation and emerging language technologies;
- interpretation arrangements for ITU-D meetings; and
- alignment with Union wide multilingualism initiatives discussed within the Council Working Group on Languages (CWG LANG).
