+# Communication – Language Support
+
+## Purpose
+This section defines how the brand communicates across different languages, regions, and cultural contexts. It ensures clarity, inclusivity, and consistency in messaging.
+
+## Primary Language
+- **Default Language:** English (AU/UK spelling conventions unless otherwise specified).
+- **Secondary Languages:** [List here: e.g., Spanish, Mandarin, etc.]
+- **Dialect & Localization:** Adapt content to local idioms, spelling, and cultural context where appropriate.
+
+## Translation Guidelines
+- Use **professional human translators** for key brand materials (marketing, website, press releases).
+- Use **machine-assisted translation** only for internal communication or rapid drafts, followed by human review.
+- Maintain a **brand glossary** for consistent translation of product names, technical terms, and slogans.
+
+## Accessibility
+- Support **plain language** versions for audiences with varying literacy levels.
+- Provide **alt text translations** for images, video subtitles, and transcripts.
+- Ensure compliance with **WCAG standards** when multilingual text appears in digital media.
+
+## Typography & Character Sets
+- Use fonts with **full multilingual support** (including diacritics, non-Latin scripts, right-to-left languages).
+- For web, prefer system-friendly or variable fonts that handle multiple scripts consistently.
+
+## Tone & Voice Across Languages
+- **Consistency:** Retain brand personality regardless of language.
+- **Adaptation:** Allow for cultural nuance without altering the core brand message.
+- Avoid idioms, slang, or humor that may not translate well.
+
+## Examples
+- **Correct:** Localizing date formats, currency symbols, and measurement units per region.
+- **Incorrect:** Translating brand/product names unless a localized version is approved.
+
+## Maintenance
+- Maintain a **translation memory** for re-use across campaigns.
+- Regularly audit translated content for accuracy and tone.
