Potential questions include, but are not limited to:
 - Can official language translation be considered community
translation if the official language is highly underrepresented (ex.
French in Alberta)?
 - How does community translation apply to indigenous languages?
 - How do community translation services differ from official language
translation services in underserved settings?
 - What are the implications of recognizing indigenous languages or
minority official languages as languages of community translation
services? Could this change the status of these languages?
These questions can also apply to other countries who are facing
similar challenges.
