Translating MLDS
There are three things that need translating, and the necessary files can be found on this page covering the following parts:
The interface and email messages need to be translated, whilst the third section is optional depending on the Member country preference.
Available tooling
SNOMED International provides an online translation tool, https://translate.snomedtools.org, which can be used to translate the MLDS interface and email messages.
To access the translation tool, you will need to request an account via [email protected], explaining that the account is needed to translate MLDS.
Once you have received the invite, follow the instructions in the email, then go to the MLDS translation project at https://translate.snomedtools.org/projects/mlds/.
You will see the following screen:
Find the language you want to translate and then, looking along the relevant row, click on the Untranslated column, which will open the following screen:
At the top of the page, you can see the English word to translate (in this case, 'Home') and an empty box where you can enter the translation.
Once you have entered the correct translation, change the Review State to Approved, then click the 'Save and Continue' button. This will then take you to the next untranslated phrase.
Once you have completed all the translations, please inform [email protected].
Useful Hints
There is no need to complete the translations in one session as they are saved on the server.
There are also automated translation options further down the page that can speed up the process. If you are happy with one of the translations, click in the 'Accept and Approve' button on the relevant row.
Other Files
The following files may also need to be translated before they can be added to the site, mainly the terms & conditions and the affiliate license. This is a more straightforward translation of the files' contents, but the choice to translate them is up to the Member country.
Please request more information from [email protected] if needed.
