English:
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.

Arabic:
قل نعم للسلام! كل البشر حول العالم يفضلون السلام علي الحرب و كلهم يستحقونه. القنابل لا تحل مشاكل العالم ولكن الاحترام والتفاهم يفعل ذلك. تقدر الانسانية والاختلافات بين عادات الشعوب حول العالم (I18N) مجموعه عولمت الانترنت تقديم السلام بلغات كثيرة يعتبر خطوة صغيرة بهذا الاتجاه.

Hebrew:
אמרו "שלום" בכל השפות! אנשי העולם מעדיפים את השלום על-פני המלחמה והם ראויים לו. אין צורך בפצצות כדי לפתור בעיות בין-לאומיות, רק בכבוד ובהידברות. קהילת בינאום האינטרנט (I18N), אשר מוקירה רב-גוניות וחיי אדם בכל מקום, מושיטה יד ל"שלום" בשפות רבות כצעד קטן בכיוון זה.

Let's show the world how people of many nations can cooperate to accomplish something small, which can be a first step towards accomplishing something bigger. 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 and is used in this page (but we will accept text in any form or character set). 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). The table is in language-code order, since any other order would either favor English or make no sense.

After starting work on this page, we discovered some similar ones (mostly in Roman letters), from which we borrowed several entries: Paix, Peace in Every Language, and the San Antonio Peace Center.

Notes:
Language names are presently English only, as spelled in ISO 639-2.
As of early 2003, very few browsers can show the Gothic example.
Latin transcriptions might not be entirely systematic.
Alphabet choices for certain languages (e.g. Bosnian, Serbian) might be controversial; we attempt to err on the side of inclusiveness.
