Hi there,

I’m wanting to change the term Patient to client, and remove the DOB and SS fields as I wont be needing this info. ok the add patient area I can’t find where its pulling this data so I can change the titles or remove it completely.

You can disable and the SS and DOB fields using the Admin->Layout, Demographics page.  The best way to change the word ‘Patient’ to the word “Client” everywhere would be to create translation of the English to special English like table.  That I don’t know how to do, I just know you can do it.

Within the user interface of OEMR, go to Admim>Layouts. Select Demographics from the drop-down menu.

If you encounter any difficulties, please browse to your openemr installation directory and find this file:

“C:\xampp\htdocs\openemr\Documentation\IPPF_Guides\Process 6-5-0 Layouts Ver 4-0”

This is if you are using xampp on C.

hi,
To change labels (ie. Patient to Client), this can be done in the Administration->Other->Language->Edit Definitions.
Put ‘Patient’ in definition and click Search. Then place words you want to substitute for P(p)atient and click ‘Load Definitions’.

Hi Brady and all,

This translation tool is very powerful. Ignorance is never a good attribute-:slight_smile: Close to 4.0 release, Brady spent a lot of time working on and committing code related to translation. Wondered what all the fuss was about! Now I know how useful this feature(s) is after his above post, even to English speaking (reading) users!

For it to work well, make sure translations are enabled in Admin>Globals>Locale.

Great work Brady and all the contributers!

Mukoya.

Mokoya,

Regarding internationalization project. Check these two links out (instructions for installing ubuntu OpenEMR package and using OpenEMR by a Greek user):

Pretty cool. (The initial step of installing the LAMP package is actually not needed, but since I don’t know Greek, not sure how to tell them :slight_smile: )

Brady,

Quite cool! And it is 4.0. That was swift! Well, Internationalization is important. Their screenshots are even better than official OEMR!
