TIA: Translations of IA Articles

Home | Initiatives | TIA: Translation of IA Articles

Overview

The Translation of Information Architecture (TIA) Initiative is made up of an international group of IAs dedicated to translating articles on Information Architecture to and from a number of languages. View our TIA FAQ for more information.

In addition to translation of IA articles, we also have several language websites with localized content, such as news and events as well as general information about the Institute's programs and activities and a full listing of translated articles. We are also adding an Accessibility team to work on projects such as transcribing audio/video content for the hearing impaired and reviewing our web content for accessibility issues.
