French.
On January 25, 2010 Hesperian received a call from MEDICC, requesting
assistance in adding a fourth language — English — to the 4000+ word
glossary. This urgent request was in response to the many English-speaking
health care workers in or on their way to Haiti following the devastating
earthquake The authoritative glossary contains terms and expressions
commonly used by health care providers, contributing to better care and
preventive medicine efforts by multinational teams.
Hesperian thanks the staff and volunteers who immediately transformed
MEDICC’s original into an editable “wiki” format, and sent an email alert
to recruit volunteers — professional translators, doctors, and fluent English/
Spanish speakers. Twenty-eight volunteers from Berkeley to Germany
worked around the clock to meet a 30-hour deadline. Their work was then
reviewed by another team of medical translators and also by Haitian MDs
and MEDICC’s editor to ensure the Kreyòl matched the English. More than
80 volunteers participated in this week-long intensive project of solidarity
with the people of Haiti.
