Our priority is to translate and disseminate Cochrane Reviews. All teams translate the plain language summaries, some also the abstracts, or other main text sections of the Review. These translations are published with the English Review on the Cochrane Library and on their own version of cochrane.org, which has been translated into 15 languages and has multilingual search functionality.

How we prioritize Reviews for translation

Translation projects differ depending on their local contextProjects differ according to local set-ups, culture, and funding, and this also affects how they set priorities. While they our teams generally focus on recent publicationsrecently published Reviews, some teams select Reviews for translation based on their expertise in specific areas of health. They also choose Reviews because they are of particular interest in their country, and they make their decision based on priorities of to their funders or partners, or let volunteers focus on their interests and expertise.
