64 countries. By adjusting the machine translation system, for example, for the cultural sector, it will make Latvian cultural values available to the world, making digital stocks of cultural and memory institutions available in other languages. The usage of Latvian-Russian machine translation in electronic information resources is reducing due to the information space separation, which separates the Russian-speaking part of the population, which is not sufficiently fluent in Latvian. Despite the low international assessment, a number of widely used generic technologies has been developed for Latvian language – tools for writing in Latvian, correction of spelling errors in certain operating systems and digital devices, opportunities to divide words for hyphenation, a number of electronic dictionaries and terminology databases. There are also several ongoing innovative researches on machine translation and semantic technologies. Since the scope of the Latvian language users is relatively small, the state should promote the creation of new digital content and ensure its availability and free usage. The limited market size cannot fully provide creation of such content on commercial basis; therefore, it is necessary to have programme for the creation of rich digital content, which is not limited only to digitisation of the existing digital content, but also is adding value to this content for future use. Required Actions To develop machine translation technologies adjusted to e-governance needs, to integrate them into the general e-governance technology infrastructure and provide their convenient use in egovernance services with an aim to ensure the usage of Latvian e-services in Latvian language, including also cross-border e-services provided by other countries, as well as e-services availability to all users groups, regardless of their language skills – both Latvian citizens, noncitizens and foreigners. This requires the development of machine translation quality, specialised sectoral coverage and translation directions (e.g., culture area). As a priority translation should be ensured for more widely used EU languages, as well as for Russian language necessary for crossborder co-operation, but gradually there should be an opportunity to translate between all EU official languages and the languages of the most important economic cooperation regions, for example, Chinese. In the digital environment language is closely related to the development of language technology; therefore, it is necessary to ensure the free usage of digital content for the language technology development needs, not only technically providing free access to digital content, but also by changing the regulatory database that would allow to use copyright and other protected content for the research purposes. 5.4.8 E-Health Solutions for Efficient, Safe and Patient-oriented Health Care E-health implementation in Latvia was launched in 2005, when the Cabinet approved the guidelines for the “E-health in Latvia”50. Within the framework of EU Structural Funds planning period 2007-2013 Phase 1of e-health project is being implemented and in 2013 Phase 2 of the project has been launched. E-health website, e-booking and e-shipment information system, electronic health cards, e-prescriptions and integration platforms for solution IS have been 50 Cabinet Order No. 560 “On the e-Health Guidelines in Latvia” adopted 17 August 2005. information_society_development_guidelines_2014_2020.docx; Information Society Development Guidelines 2014-2020
