Language Resources
This page is under construction…I think we should organize it by language, translation tools, and link to country resources.
The information is drawn from the following threads http://www.curevents.com/vb/showthread.php?t=51010 http://www.curevents.com/vb/showthread.php?t=61063 http://www.curevents.com/vb/showthread.php?t=59700
International bird flu word-list
I use these to search Google — but more often I use them to search the news at alltheweb.com — I tend to get better results there: http://www.alltheweb.com/?cat=news&…v&_sb_lang=pref
I also search for “H5N1″ on alltheweb.com’s news search and select for results to be displayed in any language. Then you’ll get a veritable potpourri of bf news stories in all sorts of languages.
You can get reasonably ok machine-translations for many languages from babelfish: http://babelfish.altavista.com
I use toggletext for Indonesian: http://www.toggletext.com
And, this online service for Arabic: http://translate.sakhr.com/sakhr/elogin_ET.asp
The List:
禽流感 (Chinese - simplified, I think - the “Birds and beasts flu”)
Chinese-English machine translation available at: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

There also appears to be an Arabic-English machine translator on Google (a Beta version). Haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising!
