Install Translations

Overview

These are instructions to upgrade to the most recent language translation tables published for OpenEMR. This is very simple to do.

Note that this will delete all of your current local OpenEMR language translation tables. (unless you are using the lang_custom table to hold your local customizations - this is described in the OpenEMR 3.2 patch and will be included in OpenEMR 4.0)
