The Chinese translation has been developed under the direction of Gesa Schwantes, Associate Professor, Institute for Conservation of Cultural Heritage Shanghai University, China. Since November 2022 you can find it here.
A consortium of seven European institutions - supported by associated partners and external experts – has developed the richly illustrated glossary in eleven languages: Concise texts and demonstrative illustrations are designed to help readers quickly grasp and understand each term. The project was developed due to the use of differing terminology used in the fields of wall paintings and architectural surfaces. Since the end of October 2015, the glossary is available to the general public as an inexpensive, non-profit print publication:
EwaGlos - European Illustrated Glossary of Conservation Terms for Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces
English definitions with translations into Bulgarian, Croatian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Spanish and Turkish, ed. by Angela Weyer, Pilar Roig Picazo, Daniel Pop, JoAnn Cassar, Aysun Özköse, Jean-Marc Vallet and Ivan Srša, Petersberg 2015 (=Publication Series by the Hornemann Institute 17).
After a worldwide survey, the consortium published a revised digital edition in December 2016:
