Language/translations

[Denise Fernandez]

Hi! I was just testing your fhir terminology server with some code system queries.

I was wondering if there’s any way (as there is in https://search.loinc.org) to set the language, so I can get translated values in valueCoding.display for all properties.

For example:
* https://search.loinc.org/searchLOINC/search.zul?query=1975-2 (if I “Set Language” to Spanish/Argentina, then I get translated values in the search results)
* GET https://fhir.loinc.org/CodeSystem/$lookup?system=http://loinc.org&code=1975-2
(I’m using the same user for basic auth for rest api, and for log in at search.loinc.org)

I tried:
– Adding displayLanguage=es-AR as a query param (as per https://www.hl7.org/fhir/operation-codesystem-lookup.html)
– Adding a header to the request Accept-Language=es-AR (as per https://hl7.org/fhir/2018May/languages.html##http)

Thanks!

Denise.

Any news about this? Being able to expand ValueSets with display values in other languages is a very important requirement for the usage of LOINC in FHIR implementations in Germany as well.

We’d love to know if this feature is somewhere on the roadmap!

This is something we will be exploring as we realize its importance for the community. We do not have a timetable for a potential release. It would probably be March 2020 at the earliest.

Hi

Are there any updates on multi-language support for the fhir-loinc api?

Thanks!

It’s a feature the Netherlands would really appreciate as well – to the point that using the LOINC FHIR API does not make much sense for us without it. And the API looks great, I’d love to incorporate it.
