title: Dental interview system with a native-language interpreting engine.
abstract: We developed a Dental Interview System with a Native-language Interpreting Engine (DISNIE) on the Internet. DISNIE uses simple natural sentences without dental terminology and interprets these sentences in five languages such as Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese and French, respectively. DISNIE is a good tool not only for patients who are able to read, write and speak only their mother languages but also for the staff at a dental hospital because of its accessibility via the Internet.
