Welcome to the BRIDGE Translations Page.  This is a central point for all translated versions of BRIDGE documents.

Translations may be for specific modules, for an already customised workshop or for certain BRIDGE documents (e.g. the Implementation Manual or the brochure) only.  There are currently no full translations of BRIDGE version 2.

*Please note* Translations for version 1 of BRIDGE are no longer available for download.  However, if you would like access to these, please contact the BRIDGE Office.  Version 1 translations are available in: Arabic, Armenian, Dari, French, Georgian, Indonesian, Pashto, Portuguese, Spanish and Tetum.
