O&P dictionary/lexicon expanded

Wieland Kaphingst

Dear Colleagues:

As a third language the ISPO Canada web-based dictionary/lexicon does now
contain the Vietnamese language version. After English and German this step made
 it a tri-lingual one.

French, Chinese, Spanish, Italian translations are presently under work,
Swedish and Japanese have been promised at the ISPO Hong Kong meeting, as well
as a participation of the ISO working group on terminology for inclusion of new
 terms and editorial collaboration. We would like to thank them for their
gracious offer of active participation. It is pretty exciting to see the
dictionary grow like this, even if it is slow growth because it is carried by
volunteers only (hey - slow growth is natural growth!).

Please check it out yourself under _ <URL Redacted>

YOUR SUPPORT is requested:

We are looking for further collections of terms and definitions, we are
looking for qualified (not necessarily certified) translators from the O&P
field who would be interested to translate it into their own professional mother
tongue.

WE ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN FURTHER INDUSTRIAL SPONSORS.
SO FAR OSSUR IS THE ONLY ACTIVE SPONSOR. YOU DON'T WANT TO KEEP IT IKE THIS
- DO YOU?

Please ask for the conditions and please get in touch with either:

We would be glad to discuss the details with you!
