We’ve been quiet the last few weeks due to travel, vacation, review meetings for our new editorial support system, publication deadlines, and ongoing DDC development. Juli Beall, Libbie Crawford, and I took a break on Wednesday evening to meet by teleconference with colleagues at the National Library of Indonesia to plan a new Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) translation of Abridged Edition 14. The last Indonesian translation was published in 1979, and was based on Abridged Edition 10. The 1979 translation has been reprinted numerous times (1982, 1989, 1991, 1993 and 2006), but a new translation is definitely long overdue. We recently updated the developments for geographic areas, peoples, languages, and literatures of Indonesia—we expect to make additional adjustments to these developments plus other sections of the DDC as we work with the Indonesian translation team.
