Dear Michele Meltzer,
The RehApp 2.0 which we will launched on the 17th of June in an international online event consists - next to an interactive client information system - also of an information section with over 20 chapters referring to information about various types of disabilities. The Content Management System (CMS) of this web-based smartphone App has a translation function. This however is an automated (google) translate option which has become better over the past years, but in principle we are working with lots of volunteers and translation agencies to get all chapters manually translated into a number of European languages (such as French, Portuguese, Spanish) but increasingly also in other languages e.g. Nepali, Hindi, Khmer, Bahasa, Tajik, Vietnamese, Amharic, KiSwahili. It is a serious job to be done but we realise also that there is a serious need to make such information available in local languages if it is being used and understood by local people be it lay health workers or patients, clients, caregivers etc.
