A French person suddenly showed up to the hospital! Google Translate came to the rescue.

The above is part of a conversation I did using Google Translate.

 

The other day, a French client who was staying at the nearby Hotel Kyocera for several nights suddenly came to see me.

 

I could tell from his gestures that his lower back hurt when he bent over, but since we were fully booked, I asked him to come back in three hours.

 

While I was pondering how to start the conversation, the client I was treating suggested that I use Google Translate on my smartphone.

 

First, I asked him about his mobility and strength, and then I tested his mobility and strength. It would be smooth in Japanese, but it's difficult to translate technical terms into French!

 

I found that I could communicate more smoothly by translating Japanese that even elementary school children can understand into French.

 

He still had a little pain when he bent over, so I used tape to reduce the pain and he smiled.

 

He asked me if I could come back if I needed anything because I was staying for 15 days.

 

OK!
