Editing ALGOL 68 (section)

===Timeline of standardization===
1968: On 20 December 1968, the "Final Report" (MR 101) was adopted by the Working Group, then subsequently approved by the General Assembly of [[UNESCO]]'s [[IFIP]] for publication. Translations of the standard were made for [[Russian language|Russian]], [[German language|German]], [[French language|French]] and [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]], and then later [[Japanese language|Japanese]] and [[Chinese language|Chinese]].<ref name="abp33">{{cite web |url=http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/algol/ACM_Algol_bulletin/1061739/p33-ru_ian.pdf |title=The Translation of Algol 68 into Chinese |author=Lu Hu-quan |date=1971 |publisher=Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica |place=Peking, China |access-date=2012-08-17}}</ref> The standard was also made available in [[Braille]].

1984: [[ISO/IEC JTC 1#History|TC 97]] considered ALGOL 68 for standardisation as "New Work Item" TC97/N1642 [http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/sc22/docs/docs0200.html][http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/sc22/sc22arc1.txt]. West Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, USSR and Czechoslovakia willing to participate in preparing the standard but the USSR and Czechoslovakia "were not the right kinds of member of the right ISO committees"[http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/algol/algol_bulletin/A50/P1.HTM] and Algol 68's ISO standardisation stalled.[http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/open/n0200.pdf]

1988: Subsequently ALGOL 68 became one of the [[GOST]] standards in Russia.
