“allows those who violate the license inadvertently to regain their rights automatically if the violation is corrected in a timely manner.”

Not sure how this would really be enforced, countries such as India, China & Eastern European countries regularly flought copyright laws and we feel powerless to contest.

Where would I find multi language translations of the revised CC 4.0? Have they been published yet?

@Sitebee: the License Versions page details the changes between versions–it may be helpful for you!

@William: as you hoped, you’re wrong! Nothing has changed for collections in 4.0.

The mention was removed in the license because it was unnecessary–it wasn’t giving you additional rights to create collections beyond what you would have already had. You may still distribute CC-licensed works alongside works of any other license, so long as those works are not derivatives.

See the FAQ entry: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#If_I_create_a_collection_that_includes_a_work_offered_under_a_CC_license.2C_which_license.28s.29_may_I_choose_for_the_collection.3F

and the License Versions page:

That`s great news, can I ask how will it affect me from version 3? I`m a web designer and sometimes I release my work (templates) for free.

Would it be possible for the organization to create official plaintext versions?

Here’s one for 3.0:

But there is no 4.0:
