[pethers]

🎯 Objective

Complete AI-powered batch translation of Discordian ISMS core policy pages for German and Dutch markets, establishing cybersecurity thought leadership in key European markets.

📋 Background

Discordian ISMS policies provide accessible, narrative-driven explanations of Hack23's formal ISMS-PUBLIC repository. German and Dutch markets show infrastructure readiness (63.5% DE, 61.5% NL file coverage) but need content translation.

Priority ISMS Policy Pages (8 core policies):

1. discordian-info-sec-policy - Foundation of radical transparency
2. discordian-isms-transparency - Security through radical openness
3. discordian-cybersecurity - Discordian manifesto ("Everything You Know About Security Is a Lie")
4. discordian-access-control - Trust no one (including yourself)
5. discordian-secure-dev - Code without backdoors
6. discordian-vuln-mgmt - Patch or perish
7. discordian-incident-response - When (not if) shit hits the fan
8. discordian-risk-assessment - Calculating what you can't prevent

Approach

1. Extract English source from 8 Discordian ISMS policy pages
2. AI batch translation:
   • Platform: DeepL Pro (European language specialization)
   • Context: "Technical cybersecurity policy with philosophical undertones for C-suite executives"
   • Preserve: "23 FNORD 5", ISMS-PUBLIC links, technical terminology
3. Discordian style preservation:
   • Maintain "Think for yourself, question authority" messaging
   • Adapt "23 FNORD 5" and Law of Fives with cultural footnotes
   • Balance satirical tone with professional credibility
   • Preserve Illuminatus! references with European cultural context
4. Regulatory localization:
   • German (DE): Reference BSI (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik), DSGVO, BaFin (financial sector)
   • Dutch (NL): Reference AP (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), AVG, Dutch Cybersecurity Act
5. ISMS cross-reference validation:
   • Verify all links to ISMS-PUBLIC repository preserved
   • Ensure policy cross-references maintained
   • Validate terminology consistency across 8 policies per language
6. Quality validation:
   • Native speaker review with cybersecurity background (15% sample)
   • Verify Discordian philosophical elements preserved
   • Test professional/satirical tone balance

Translation Considerations

Critical:

• Preserve "FNORD" concept (information blindness) - explain in footnotes if needed
• Maintain "Chapel Perilous" references (Discordian initiation metaphor)
• Balance satirical critique of security industry with professional expertise
• Keep technical accuracy despite philosophical framing

German Cultural Adaptation:

• Reference German engineering precision and thoroughness
• Adapt "question authority" for German corporate culture
• Emphasize systematic approach and documentation

Dutch Cultural Adaptation:

• Reference Dutch directness and pragmatism
• Adapt transparency messaging for Dutch polder model culture
• Emphasize practical security over theoretical frameworks
