Perspectives Global, through the Perspectives Curriculum Council oversees all translations and adaptations of the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement curriculum. The Perspectives curriculum is under a protected trademark. Permission must be sought in advance from the Perspectives Curriculum Council to translate or adapt the Perspectives curriculum. The Perspectives curriculum consists of the Perspectives Reader, Study Guide, Instructor Guidelines, along with all assignments and answer keys.

Perspectives Global provides translation funding support only to languages that are widely used in more than one country, and at its discretion per funding priorities. Generally, this is limited to global languages. Otherwise, it is up to the national Perspectives program to fund a translation for their country, with the permission of Perspectives Global and the oversight of the Perspectives Curriculum Council. The Perspectives Curriculum Council is responsible for updating the Perspectives curriculum, generally about once per decade. The 5th edition of the Perspectives curriculum is currently in process.
