开发了一个多语种灾害信息系统，以克服发生自然灾害时的语言障碍。MLDI是一个基于网络的系统，包括九种语言的模板，以便立即提供翻译文本。带有图文的移动的电话电子邮件是提供多语种灾害信息的有用工具。对移动的手机上图形文本的可见性进行了测量，发现与内置字体相当。然而，随着字符尺寸变小，尤其是在分辨率差的显示器上，可见性变差。本文还讨论了多语言信息的必要性以及安全和无障碍社会的措施。
A multilingual disaster information system (MLDI) has been developed to overcome the language barrier during times of natural disaster. MLDI is a web-based system that includes templates in nine languages so that translated texts can be made available immediately. Mobile phone e-mail with graphic text is a useful tool for delivering multilingual disaster information. The visibility of graphic text on mobile phones was measured and found to be equivalent to the built-in font. However, visibility deteriorates as the character size becomes smaller, especially, on displays with poor resolution. This article also discusses the necessity of multilingual information and measures for a safe and barrier-free society.
