I intend to adopt openemr to swedish healthcare. What is making me hesitate is that I don want to start a new projekt - I want the adoptation follow the development of openemr.
The question therefore is: What is the best way to adopt the system in order not to loose connection to openemr?
Should I add extra tables? Should I change in the tables, menues, etc with some kind of marking?
Please give me some hints on this.

Hi,
this is my opinion, please wait until the others post theirs.
at this link:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3221381
I posted three different ways to do it.
I suggest option #3 as it easier to maintain in the future and it doesn’t tax the system resources.
If you want, you can translate couple of screens or whatever you’d like to start with, when you have a portion done, please submit it to any of the developers so it can be reviewed and the patch can be applied,
If the code is all right, which I think it will be, then you can have committing privileges to the developers tree and push the translations changes yourself. (as long as you leave English as the default). ; )

Sounds good.
But whatever way one needs to change the original code also. Should I understand you that you prefer if I make constants out of all the texts and then have an include-file loading those constants in the beginning of each file in case another language is preferred instead of ‘us_en’?
for example:
…
PASWRD="Password:"
USERNAME="Username:"
…
{if is_object($LANG)}
{include_once("/lang/$LANG/filename.inc"); }
{/if}
…
<td><span class="text">$USERNAME</span></td>
<td>
<input type="entry" size=10 name=authUser>
</td></tr><tr>
<td><span class="text">$PASSWRD</span></td>
<td>
<input type="password" size=10 name=clearPass>
</td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td>
<input type="hidden" name="authPass">
…
LANG="se"
…
The file lang/se/filename.inc includes these commands:
…
…
PASWRD="Lsenord:"
USERNAME="Anvndarnamn:"
…
Is that the way you think it should be done? Or should the declarations for the us_en also be moved out to another file instead of kept in the beginning of each file?

yes, you can skip the "if" part if you have a definition for the language to be used in the include/config.php file and pull the value from there.
