 Patient information is, understandably, usually generated initially in the native language of the country where the product is being developed.This leads to inconsistency in format, terminology, tone, and content.PILLS (Patient Information Language Localisation System) is a one-year effort by the European Commission to produce a prototype tool which will support the creation of various kinds of medical documentation simultaneously in multiple languages, by storing the information in a database and allowing a variety of forms and languages of output.
