What is Kontseilua? Kontseilua, the Council of Social Organizations in favour of Basque, es una institución ***que trabaja a favor de la normalización*** y está formada por 45 socios.
“The Bai Euskarari Certificate” es la herramienta que sirve para la promoción del euskera en el mundo laboral. Mediante dicho Certificado, hoy en día, más de 1.600 entidades muestran la labor que realizan en el campo del euskera a toda la sociedad.
La política lingüística: hoy en día, el euskera sigue siendo una lengua de segundo nivel. Las administraciones vascas aún no han conseguido euskaldunizar sus servicios y aún menos que realicen su trabajo en euskera. Kontseilua sigue haciendo multitud de contribuciones con el fin de mejorar la situación en todas las administraciones.
La dinámica ‘Euskaraz Bai’ en los municipios: con el fin de promover la normalización del euskera en los diferentes municipios, Kontseilua puso en marcha el acuerdo Bai Euskarari y el proceso de comprometerse a nivel de los municipios con los ayuntamientos y los movimientos locales a favor del euskera. Hoy en día, Kontseilua trabaja en 122 municipios de toda Euskal Herria (Basque Country).
Response to my request for clarification of "normalización": "Se trata del uso del euskera. Es decir, que los que hablen euskera puedan hablarlo en cualquier situación, de una manera normal..."
All ideas gratefully received.

that works/strives in favour of normalisation/normalization
Following the actual question, I can put down as an example this web page:
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/Insight/viewContentItem.do;jse...
Normalisation (U.K) and Normalization (U.S.A)
Although this is the actual meaning I seem to see behind the scene, it does sound really literal. So as it is only one idea, they will probably be others much better.
Best of luck, A.

Comment: "Many thanks to everyone for your help! After checking the answers "normalization" seems to be the correct term but as I for one wouldn't understand it, I expanded it into a phrase. I wanted to use "to mainstream" as I understand that, but the girl at the agency (a Basque speaker) pointed out to me that the term used on the customer's English web page is "standardization". I explained to her that that means something different -- unifying different dialects. We settled on "normalize" as a reasonable compromise. If I had been given more freedom with the translation I would have put ormiston's excellent suggestion "that works to promote the more widespread use of Basque"."

: Normalisation is about a language being used in ALL areas of life (e.g. vocab exists to talk about astrophysics as well as about the summer hols), it's not about recognition or about everyday use.

i.e. that the Basque language will be widely accepted. To me 'normalisaton' sounds like yet another constraint rather than paving the way for liberalisation

in light of the focus of your question - and given I doubt it is to supplant the use of Spanish I'd therefore go for 'the more widespread use of Basque"

It is already an official language in parts of Spain. The issue here is that for many inhabitants of these areas it only a passive language - i.e., the understand it but they don't speak it fluently:
Unas 885.000 personas lo hablaban en el 2006, y otras 515.000 lo entendían pero lo hablaban con dificultad (bilingües pasivos).

Reference:
The term "normalizacion" has different meanings. This might help. Good luck, Deborah!
normalización s. f.
1 Adaptación o sometimiento de una cosa a una serie de normas o reglas: en la industria, todos los productos tienen que estar sujetos a la normalización establecida.
2 Restablecimiento de la normalidad o el orden en una cosa.
3 Proceso lingüístico por el cual se dota a una lengua con una gramática normativa, un diccionario y una ortografía para que se utilice en todos los ámbitos y campos de las relaciones sociales públicas y privadas: algunas lenguas, a pesar de su antigüedad, todavía están sufriendo un proceso de normalización.
