Somehow I missed this
What's the most translated document in the world? It's not the Bible, it's . . .
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document conceived by the UN after World War II. Quote:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univers...f_Human_Rights

note that the WikiP article includes criticism of the document by certain segments of society. Gee, the Muslims don't seem to care for it much . . . because then they'd have to acknowledge rights of freedom of religion and gender equality. Go figure.

Do you think it's the most translated because the UN paid to have it printed in every conceivable tongue?

and they have all those staff translators handy.
to clarify, it wasn't the translated stat I missed, it was the existence of the document itself

Don't feel bad, the UN puts out lots of stuff nobody knows about.

Don't worry about the document Cloud, no one is actually using it.
