From Jan 2020 until now, our team translated 285 abstracts and PLSs of Cochrane review into simplified Chinese, and translated 44 PLSs of Cochrane review into Traditional Chinese, which are all published on the Cochrane Library and Cochrane China Network (for the translation of simplified Chinese only) website. We provide training for team members periodically to help them successfully complete the translation work. Student volunteers appreciated the training opportunities and were proud to contribute to the Cochrane community.
