Difficult cases in translation
On this page the Translation User Group presents some recurring challenges when translating SNOMED CT into different languages.
We divide the challenges into fire categories:
1 Grouper concepts
2 Cultural and linguistic nuances
3 Ambiguity and inconsistency
4 False friends
In each category you can find some examples. Each example consists of a presentation of the challenge and one or more alternative strategies to solve it.
If you have feed-back or want to suggest a new example, please send an e-mail to the chair of the Translation User Group or a comment on this page.

Hi @Ole Kristian Våge ,
I have started to have a look at this, let me have a bit of a further look at the format options and then we can see if this meets your requirements and would be suitable to link with any E-learning resources.
Best wishes,
Kath
Thanks, @Kath Priest ! Just let me know if you want me to add more cases or if there is anything I can do to assist
@Kath Priest Hi Katharine! In the Translation User Group meeting in Atlanta we discussed including some examples of difficult cases of translation as a knowledge resource. I think you mentioned that you could have a look. Above is the first (of severeal cases). I´m a bit unsure how to present them, i.e. format, graphics etc. I would like to hear your opinion.
The idea is that the E-learning Pathway Course could link to this resource page somehow.
