The OOG in OOG website will soon be available in English as well
Starting September 7, the Vereniging OOG in OOG website will offer a new feature: with the click of a button, you can view the entire website in English. This allows us to make our information accessible to a much larger group of people, both within and outside the Netherlands.
The new translation feature is intended, among other things, for people who live in the Netherlands but do not speak Dutch or have only a limited command of the language. We also hope this will reach people abroad who are receiving an ocular prosthesis or who already wear one.
Our website contains a wealth of information about living with one eye and wearing an ocular prosthesis. We’ve noticed that such information isn’t always available in such detail in other countries. That’s precisely why it can be valuable for people outside the Netherlands to be able to consult our website as well.
Switch to English with a single click
At the top right of the website , you‘ll find the option to change the language. If you select English, the entire website will be displayed in English. You can also switch back to Dutch from the same location. More languages may become available in the future.
Need another language? Use Translation Help!
Would you like to read information on our website in a language other than Dutch or English in the meantime? If so, you can use ReadSpeaker’s translation feature. You’ll find this translation feature under the “Read Aloud” button.
With “Translation Help, ” you can have a selected piece of text on our website translated. This can be helpful for visitors whose first language isn’t Dutch, or for people who understand certain information better in another language.
It’s easy to use: select the text you want to read, click “Translate,” and choose the language you want. There are many languages to choose from. You can read more about ReadSpeaker’s features on this page.
With these new capabilities, we hope to make the knowledge and experiences we share through OOG in OOG accessible to an ever-growing number of people—no matter where in the world they are.
