He was very pleased with the result so far and stated that FAO will continue to support WRB by maintaining the website and assisting translations to permit wider use of WRB. Already 5 translations of WRB 2006 are underway: Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish and German. He also noted the integration of WRB in the newly issued fourth edition of the FAO Guidelines for Soil Description, the possible linkage to the FAO Topsoil Classification (still available only in draft format), and the Lecture Notes on the Major Soils of the World that FAO update of the also supports.<o:p><\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P> <P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 1.1pt 0pt 27pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\"><o:p><FONT size=2>&nbsp;<\/FONT><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P> <P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 1.1pt 0pt 0cm; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\"><FONT size=2>He also came with a note of warning: soil science as such is on the trail.
