Limerick translation firm Translit is rolling out a new interpreter-on-wheels service for medical facilities in Ireland.

The device is the first of its kind in Ireland and provides 24/7 access to live video interpretation in more than 200 languages, making it useful in many settings where language can be a barrier to communication, including healthcare and immigration.
