Please read carefully!

The purpose of this group is to exchange information relating to patent translation from all languages INTO ENGLISH. Queries may relate directly to the subject matter of the patent, wording issues, filing conventions in the United States and other English-speaking countries, software and resources, and other issues relating to the patent process. No commercial messages or self-promotion, please. Although the list is designed to assist translators, patent attorneys with an interest in the quality of translation are encouraged to join. The group is no longer moderated in the sense that a moderator approves messages to prevent spam and inappropriate postings.
