What's on this system ?
This system contains the electronic form of eight glossaries, in
which you can find 1830 technical and popular medical terms in eight
of the nine official European languages : English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Danish.
There are four kinds of documents on this system :
- Lists of technical and popular medical terms : these
lists contain an index of all the medical terms, with cross-references
between technical and popular terms (one list for each language).
- Glossaries of technical and popular medical terms : these
glossaries
contain notes and comments from translators and users
for each of the 1830 terms in the selected language. This is where your
comments will eventually find their place.
- Multilingual lemma collection : this list contains
1830 pages, one for each of the 1830 concepts in this system. On each
page all the technical and popular terms from the all languages are
brought together.
- Dictionary : this list contains a short description (in
English) of each term.
These lists are connected with each other. You can go from one to the
other by clicking on their icons :
