Putting on another hat for a moment --
I just wanted to add a word of caution about on-line translation tools
or doing dictionary translations -- unless you have someone who speaks
the target language very well checking the result, the translations are
often miserable.
I know that when the need is great, there is a strong tendency to go
with a 'better than nothing' choice. But sometimes you can get the best
for very little money. Breastfeeding materials *are* available in
several languages, through LLLI and other sources. Perhaps some
Lactnetters would be willing to do some translation for a small fee.
(Many probably already do in the course of their day.) I'm no help
because I translate *into* English, but I can think of people who could
translate into a number of languages.
On the other hand, knowing where to find an on-line dictionary to look
up a specific medical or other term is a great idea.
