FACT

Communicating in different languages in the workplace becomes a

lot easier with this practical tool. FACT translates between Dutch,

French, English, Spanish, Romanian, Polish, Arabic, Farsi Dari,

Pashto, Somalian and Ukrainian. It can also be used as a practice

tool for language learning in the workplace. The user chooses

his/her source language and the requested target language.

Different languages can also be chosen. For each word, you always

get the written word, its spoken version, and a supporting image in

the selected languages.

The vocabulary packages were established in partnership with

VDAB and Le Forem as well as the sectors concerned. The user

chooses the sectors he/she wants. The sector-specific words are

organised in logical categories (equipment, machinery, components,

maintenance, operations,…) allowing the user to quickly scroll to the

right word. Furthermore, a specific search function (with

autocomplete) is also provided in the different languages. The user

can also create a set of favourites and practice with his/her

favourites.

The app is an initiative of the Province of West Flanders and was

developed as part of the Interreg project AB Réfugiés-Emploi, in

partnership with the following participants: POM West-Vlaanderen,

VDAB, Le Forem, Ifapme, Mission Locale Douaisis, Entreprendre

Ensemble, Rode Kruis Vlaanderen, Fedasil, Ligo Kortrijk-Roeselare,

With the support of the European Regional Development Fund and
