SNOMED CT has features that enable translations to be created and supported in clinical systems. However, to leverage translations requires: the following:
- Prior consent from SNOMED International (refer to Clause 2.4 of the Affiliate License, available at https://www.snomed.org/get-snomed, under "Licensing")
- Receiving a unique namespace for creating and publishing SNOMED CT identifiers for the translation terms from SNOMED International (Details can be found here - https://www.snomed.org/change-or-add, under "Namespace identifiers")
- Following the guidelines for creating and managing the translations (Details can be found here on translation, translation management and quality assurance - https://www.snomed.org/use-snomed-ct, under "Translation")
- Additional queries or clarifications should be directed to SNOMED International - info@snomed.org
