Hello George,

> Have you any other ideas regarding the lowering of the language barrier?
I am working at the German Center for Evidence-Based Nursing and we offer
a monthly working group for nurses at our university hospital where we
lead them through the ebn steps by solving a clinical problem.
To manage the foreign language barrier we have an online dictionary
(http://dict.leo.org) at the background of our browser so that you could
switch between the Pubmed and the dictionary session.
For the barrier of the scientific language we do the same with a glossary
of epidemiology terms (in German with English keywords at
www.ebhc.de/glossar).
But the language barrier is still a big problem - we could only show the
nurses some tricks to manage it, to loose their fear and to discover the
fun of finding studies according to their clinical problems.
Best wishes,
Gero Langer
