Facilitating Access to Multilingual COVID-19 Information via Neural Machine Translation

Way, Andy, Haque, Rejwanul, Xie, Guodong et al.

Understand

Every day, more people are becoming infected and dying from exposure to COVID-19.

Some countries in Europe like Spain, France, the UK and Italy have suffered particularly badly from the virus.
Others such as Germany appear to have coped extremely well.
Both health professionals and the general public are keen to receive up-to-date information on the effects of the virus, as well as treatments that have proven to be effective.
