Abstract:

Web4Health is using Google translation software in three ways to enhance our web site.

Question:

How is Web4Health using Google translation software tools?

Answer:

Web4Health is using Google translation software in three ways:

  1. Questions to the intelligent natural-language question-answering system in German, Italian and Swedish are translated by Google and sent to the English question-answering engine in addition to the question-answering engine for the original language.
  2. When developers of Web4Health want to translate a page to a new language, a Google translation is provided as an initial draft text for the manual translation.
  3. We have been experimenting with forums with automatic translation of the contributions between different languages.
