The Ambulance Service Association http://www.asa.uk.net have produced a
multi-lingual phrase book for a number of years now which may be of some
use.

Subject: Multingual phrasebook
Does anybody use anything other than the DoH/British Red Cross multilingual
phrasebook? In Bradford we have noted a large influx of eastern european
language speakers following EU expansion (as have most large urban centres,
i presume). Whilst the phrasebook is a good starting point, it has some
important omissions, such as how to advise on take-out medication doses.
The americans tend to focus on spanish, so there is not much out on the WWW.
I have come across this product http://www.dolphintec.com/translator.htm,
but am awaiting further details.
Any help would be much appreciated.
