Hi Abel, We sure will do our best to help with the translations and as an open community our friends at UNESCO can monitor progress and copy these over as they reach the appropriate level of consensus.
Good idea to upload them to the Wikimedia Commons -- this way the logo's can easily be shared across multiple wikis around the world. See for example how WikiEducator benefits from sharing images<http://wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_rich_text_editor_tutorials/Images/Basics#Using_an_image_from_Wikimedia_Commons>from our friends at the Wikimedia Commons. I think you may have suggested this previousal - but what about a UNESCO promoted activity to translate the concept of "Open Educational Resources" during open education week for the UNESCO OER logo? How many languages can be achieved?
