Developers Question: How difficult would it be to make a change of Language from within OEMR?
Explanation:
I am using Dutch as a default language. Sometimes I relate to certain parts of OEMR but have no clue of what the translation/programmer wants me to do. Could be a mistake due to Google Spreadsheet translations or just a difference in interpretation of medical professionals and used words or abbreviations.
But I also have some Chinese speaking clients who don’t know much about Spanish, English, Dutch and I have sometimes to make use of veterinarian medicine, since there is no interpreter available. On the other hand sometimes I can use the Chinese translation. It is hard to find your way in OEMR clicking on signs that don’t give a clue of what I am doing. I can’t understand nor read Chinese.
If you want to give it a try, make use of the dummy language. It is good for the purpose, but hard to find the right part what needed a check for translation.
Most of the times, if my Chinese client reads the question in Chinese, I get the right response in broken sign or local language.
I tried a partial translation table, but this seems not to give the correct solution. While toggle between English, Dutch, Chinese Simple might give a result that is workable as a solution for my use of OEMR. This might also be an extra feature for Greek, Russian, Vietnamese and others, who have problems with many tourists not able to speak local language nor English.
