Frank Geier : The linguistic issues are the most important from the framework, such as finding the preferred term, false friends, etc. Regarding conceptual and ontological challnges, these are more like quality assurance (QA) issues. Regarding cultural challanges: Is SNOMED CT an international terminology? Residuals from an Anglocentric past? Should there be an agreement on what is really international?
STEFAN SCHULZ Endorses the framework. Important to give feedback to Snomed Int. when the meaning of concepts is ambigous. In this sense, the translator doesn´t have a traditional role, but more of QA. The lack of text definitions is a weakness, not only for translators, but for SNOMED CT as a product.
Hyma Kanchi Poor support of tooling makes translation difficult, both initial translation and maintainance. EHDS will requiere translations in many European languages, at least of relevant value sets.
Frank Geier Support the tooling issue. It´s a huge issue. Would like to ask Snomed Int. if there is a new tool.
Katharine Priest No knowledge of a new translation tool. Will try to find out.
Ole Våge Snomed Int. has made a presentation about a AI translation tool. But what we need is a tool which covers the whole process of translation, not just one of the steps. But the issue of tooling should be raised in Member Forum.
Marie-Alexandra Lambot This brings back the issue of translation templates, which should be picked up again. And also of interface terms and forbidden terms.
