Abstract
Please describe your proposal. Aim for 100 to 300 words.
If you have any relevant webpages, slidedecks, etc., you may link them here.
WikiProject Medicine started a Healthcare Translation Task Force in 2011 to make easy-to-understand health information available in many languages via translation from English. In 2021 they launched a dedicated translation dashboard to streamline efforts. In the US immigrant workers who often are not proficient in English make up 28% of the workforce. In a partnership with researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, we are coordinating actions to expand and improve content within Wikimedia platforms related to the most common occupational hazards and health conditions in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
