Stop War!

[ Flag ] [ Table ] [ Credits ] [ Links ]

Say Peace in all languages! The people of the world prefer peace to war and they deserve to have it. Bombs are not needed to solve international problems, just respect and communication. The Internet Internationalization (I18N) community, which values diversity and human life everywhere, offers "Peace" in many languages as a small step in this direction.

Let's show the world how people of all nations can cooperate to accomplish something small, which is the first step towards accomplishing something big. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SAY "PEACE" in a language that is not listed or filled in below (or that needs correction), please send it in and we will add it to the table (please also let us know whether you wish to be given credit). As new entries arrive, we will add them to the table and also try to add them to the Peace flag. Unicode UTF-8 encoding is preferred for submissions (but we will accept text in any form or character set), and is used in this page. The Code in column 1 of the table is the ISO 639-1 language code (or 639-2 for languages that don't have 639-1 codes, or blank if the language also lacks a 639-2 code). The table is in language-code order, since any other order would either favor English or make no sense. Languages that don't have language codes are listed first.
