MONTREAL (CNN) -- The official translation of the question Quebec voters face on Monday in the separation referendum:
"Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign, after having made a formal offer to Canada for a new economic and political partnership, within the scope of the bill respecting the future of Quebec and of the agreement signed on June 12, 1995? Yes/No."
Some elements in the referendum need a little translating of their own:
The "bill" on the future of Quebec refers to Bill 1, which proposes a framework for achieving sovereignty and was introduced in the Quebec legislature in September.
The June 12 agreement refers to a declaration by three Quebec parties that support sovereignty: the Parti Quebecois, the Bloc Quebecois and the Action Democratique du Quebec party.

Back to Quebec future hangs in the balance.
