2. We encourage you to share OSHO TALKS in your own language, by directing people to OSHO.com, running the videos on your own site, using our embeddable player, or screening them at live events. Please run the talks in their entirety, and don't edit them in any way. Send any questions about usage to us at OSHOTALKS@oshointernational.com. (Our support team speaks English, so please write your query in English for quickest response.)
3. We don’t pay translators for their work though we are happy to credit you for your work. Your name will appear on the webpage of every translation you work on. You will also be credited on a page of OSHO Translators.
4. OSHO International Foundation, Switzerland retains the copyright to all talks, transcripts and translations.
