Translations are currently underway into Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, French, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, Turkish, Urdu, Punjabi, Italian, Polish, Thai, Georgian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. They should be available soon and will be posted once they are complete.

Plans are underway to add translations into Arabic, Bahasa Indonesian, German, Vietnamese, and Iranian Persian, although these may yet take some time.

The entire volume, in all of the languages available, is a FREE download from WPATH.org.
