How did Project Codex start?
While working in the Warsaw Coordination Center for Ukraine in 2022, we experimented numerous logistical issues caused by medical terminology that varied significantly different between countries.
There was a need for an easy to use translation tool that would be more reliable – and transparent – than a simple Google Translate, without getting the complexity of a website database and that would support a variety of list format.
