== Official OpenEMR Language Translations ==
The OpenEMR language translations are built from a collaborative Google
Doc. If you would like to add a language or help with a current language,
please contact us at brady@sparmy.com .  You could then enter your translations into this
spreadsheet, which will then become a permanent part of OpenEMR. This
process has become very streamlined with a fast turnaround time, so
we would suggest you enter data on this collaborative spreadsheet rather
than entering into your local OpenEMR installation only. Note that the
translations sets are built daily. [[Install Translations|The most uptodate set of
translations can be downloaded here]].

Language Translations Setting

These are configured in Administration->Globals->Locale. Mainly, you can configure the default language and what is displayed in the login language selection menu (you can also disable this menu). There are also more advanced setting to turn off certain parts of the translation engine. Please see the Locale section of Administration Globals for more details.

Multi Language Tool.

This is the Language Administration page in OpenEMR (Administration->Language). This is where you can customize languages and language definitions. You can add new languages, ,add new English Constants, and modify/add language definitions. (Please note you can also enter your translations into the official OpenEMR Language Translation GoogleDoc spreadsheet)

The following is an explanation of the options in this tool:

Add Language

You get a box to enter a new language.

Add Constant

You get a box to add a new string to be used in the translation function, this one should be used only if you know what you are doing, mostly, if you added some custom programming with new text output. The "constant" string can be literally what you want to say or a shorter reference to it.

Edit Definitions

English is used as the reference language, if you click the English label you'll get a set of all constants and the English definitions at the side. If no definition is loaded yet for a given constant then a blank box is shown, by entering a definition and clicking "Load Definition" you save whatever changes you made. If you click other label than English, you get a set of all constants, the English definition at the side, and an input box to enter/modify the definition in the selected language.

Manage Translations

This tool allows you to re-synchronize your local language modifications after importing an official released set of OpenEMR translations.
