MedlinePlus goes Multilingual

Posted on May 8, 2008 by MK

MedlinePlus is the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) consumer health website that provides links to authoritative sites on hundreds of health topics, interactive tutorials on health and disease issues, and directories to local healthcare providers and services. MedlinePlus has been bilingual (English/Spanish) for years. On May 7th, NLM introduced a new multilingual feature. This feature provides information in languages other than English and Spanish. This new service benefits people who want to read health information in their own native language. The languages covered by this new service are Arabic, Chinese, French, Korean, Russian, Saomali, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. To access, MedlinePlus’ Health Information in Multiple Languages, go to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/languages/languages.html.
