Dear Michael
Thanks for this email. I know of the MYpil.com facility - it is a
resource that is waiting to be tapped and grow in stature. I believe
that the colleagues who are working on this are trying to secure
additional funds for its development.
I would signpost you to the Australian model and in particular to the
following URL:
http://mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au/ - Multicultural Health Information
I think quite a few of us across the UK are gathering in consensus that
standardised information via the Web that is quality controlled would be
a major asset for all 'ethnic' languages - including Welsh.
If anyone has any influence on the direction of the 'national
translation and interpretation' commitment in the NHS plan - then could
I plead for their influence to bear on the DoH to move towards this
vision.
Look forward to all your thoughts.
Abdul Razzaq.
