Current and former students of the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies have launched a website in 13 languages to help foreign nationals in Japan stay abreast of information on the coronavirus pandemic, including from the authorities.
A team of some 70 volunteers translates information released by the central government and local authorities in the Tokyo metropolitan region, as well as coronavirus news coverage by Japanese media.
The 13 languages are Japanese, English, simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Tagalog and Indonesian.
