Translate this website and our booklets
You can translate information from the Marie Curie website (including this page) and booklets using an online translator.
Online translators can translate words and phrases. But they might not always translate the meaning of the information accurately. If you’re not sure what something means, check with your doctor or nurse. If you are making decisions about your health, care, or finances, always speak with a trained professional.
There are different online translators available. We do not check the accuracy of the translations and are not responsible for the content provided by their websites.
Below are some instructions and a short video. These explain how to use Google Translate to read our website and booklets in your language.
