The French Translation Project Group is pleased to announce the first release of the SNOMED CT common French translation.
Throughout the years, a number of partial French translations have been produced locally by Members including Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and by SNOMED CT affiliate, PHAST from France. In less than two years, the number of French terms available within the new common French translation has now increased to more than 77,000 including recently translated COVID-19 concepts, closing the gap that structured data can play in French language health care settings.
At this point in time the common French translation is not distributed by SNOMED International, but rather as an option to be published as part of a national edition of any Member involved in the production of this translation.
