New Translation Features: Neonatal care has no borders, and neither should our 99nicu community
Dear 99nicu friends,
Some of you might have already noticed our 99nicu page has been going through small improvements. We keep thinking about how to make this page more friendly for you, our users. What would it take to make us a page you visit often, or maybe even your starting page?
Last week I implemented an RSS feed with the newest papers in neonatal medicine. As 99nicu, we cannot guarantee you access to full texts, but at least we can show you new research being published every single day—for the betterment of neonatal care.
Living in Europe and communicating in English almost everywhere, I never even considered that 99nicu might not be accessible enough for people who simply don't use English. I'm thankful to our dear @Mariana Oliveira who opened my eyes and encouraged me to find solutions to make our page more accessible for non-English speakers.
So, first of all—in the bottom right corner, you will find a blue "Translate" button. This is a whole page translation powered by Google Translate that will allow you to browse the page in any language you choose. Roam around and explore our content in the language you feel most comfortable with—you're welcome.

Second—underneath each post and reply to a post, you will find a button "Translate", which will give you an opportunity to choose a language. This will translate that post to your chosen language. This way, you can participate in the conversation in any language you feel comfortable with, and other users can translate your post to their language of preference. Right now the languages to choose from are limited to 12 (Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and English), but we can add as many as you like—just let us know.

We're doing our best here, without an army of social media, IT and marketing experts—but honestly, it's been fun figuring out these improvements for you. I'd love to hear your feedback: what else can we do to make 99nicu work better for you? Drop your ideas in the comments or send me a message. You can help us in this mission by visiting our page, being an active part of our community, and telling us what you need. And if you like what we do, you can become a 99nicu Society Member (https://99nicu.org/subscriptions/) for 10 EUR/year to keep our servers alive.
All the best,
Kat
