Concept

shown in the right-hand content panel. The default presentation language is that defined for the local extension (for instance, dk for the Danish Edition), and the concept details default to showing the preferred language reference set FSN and synonyms for the extension (eg dk for the Danish Edition). Some local extensions use the International default US English for the presentation language, although the concept details show their preferred language reference set FSN and synonyms.



Info
titleSearching and browsing

From the Full perspective view, the selected local extension content can be browsed and searched as described in Browse SNOMED CT International Edition concepts. The SCT Browser functionality is identical whichever version of SNOMED CT is being browsed; the differences are the default presentation language and the content itself which is from the selected local extension. Whilst the application display language (navigational elements and labelling) can be switched to any of the options in the header dropdown list, the local extension content itself will always show in the preferred language of the extension (where International terms are used but not yet translated, they will show the International US English term).
