I have initiated a pocket translator Web app with Glide, to help health professionals communicate with patients over Covid-19 diagnostic. The app proposes translations and visual illustrations to make dialogue easier when the native language is not the same.
So far, we have focused on translations for France, from French to the 6 most-spoken languages in the country.
I want to adapt the concept to other communities, especially those who have migrated recently, and for which local medical vocabulary could be especially problematic.
I am looking for a Glide expert to jump in: we will be working on developing the project within the EUvsVIRUS Hackathon this weekend: https://devpost.com/software/trad-19.
What we want to accomplish during this event:
Work on more translations
Allow users to select their from and to languages (some sort of settings)
AND/OR make the app template available for people to copy for their own languages combination
Make sure the app is available to health professionals when needed
Just checked the app. Very nice app. I am in the middle of building an any language translator app. So far I have added the following:
Any language translation to English. That is all the world languages to English.
All EU languages to English.
Back2back English-Arabic.
Back2back English- Bengali
Back2back English - Chinese
Bacj2back English - Urdu
I’m in the middle of adding further Back2back languages.
Take a look at the app. If yiu think it would help your cause, I can let you copy it for free and you can add what other languages you like. But the important thing is that you can enter any word/sentence of any Officially recorded language of the world, and the app will translate to English.
Sorry for late reply, just a little occupied… no api…but worth looking into it now that we have the EC col… I am sure it was either script or google translate formula.
