Just an additional note :-) remembering that time ago people told me that they could not add things to the Italian wiktionary because they did not speak Italian and therefore could not use the Italian wiktionary as the UI is in Italian.

Please remember that you can modify the language of the user interface as soon as you are logged in, so you will have no problems navigating the witkonary and you can easily add translations. So we are going to have another quite extensive glossary - this is indeed great :-)

Thanks Gerard!

Ciao, Sabine

Hoi, I have spoken today with the people from www.ziekenhuis.nl (hospital.nl) they have a great glossary with words that are important for people who have to go to a hospital. They give the Dutch and the English words with a description in Dutch. I will enter these words in the Dutch Wiktionary, I will add the pronunciation of these words and I will mark them as the category "ziekenhuis".

The aim will be to add translations and descriptions in all languages. This will make this resource much more important, just knowing the translations enables much better communication between a patient and the foreign hospital, so many people end up in hospital not being able to communicate what their condition is, that this would make an important resource. When we have the Ultimate Wiktionary on line, added translations will be instantly available never mind what language you select in your user interface.

As you may know, we already have permission to use the EU thesaurus on Health. This will be uploaded once the Ultimate Wiktionary is on line :)

Thanks, GerardM
