Do any of you know if there are national translation standards for
consumer health materials? We are looking for any kind of translation
standards that can be applied to different languages, similar to the
"generic" English that news broadcasters use rather than dialects. For
example, is there a "generic" Spanish that everybody can understand,
rather than Mexican Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish, European Spanish,
etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
