We have the ability to translate OpenEMR into any language, and a list of languages currently being translated can be found on the translation database statistics page. If you want to help translate (a new or current language), you will need editing privileges to our Google Docs translation spreadsheet. Please contact Brady Miller ( brady@sparmy.com ) so he can invite you to the Google doc spreadsheet(we also will give you access to the translator roster spreadsheet to allow collaboration with other translators).
In the google doc translation spreadsheet, the list is arranged alphabetically with numbers and special characters listed at the end. I'd suggest looking at our OpenEMR demo (link below) to find the words of "highest utility" to translate first. The Google Doc definitions get processed and placed into the OpenEMR demo (link below) daily to allow you to check your work. You can also download this updated set of translations into your local OpenEMR via the instructions link below. Feel free to post any questions, concerns, or ideas in the OpenEMR sourceforge forums.
Here is the OpenEMR demo link:

Click HERE to learn how to install the most recent translations into your local OpenEMR.
Here is the translation database statistics (updated daily), which reports how many definitions have been completed for each language.
While editing in the Google Docs spreadsheet, please also ensure you follow the rules below.
THE LANGUAGE SPREADSHEET RULES:
- Do NOT modify the english constants or id numbers. (if you modify these by mistake and can't undo, then feel free to email me; I can quickly fix this)
- Do NOT modify already created translations until discussing with the other translators (unless an obvious typo etc.)(if you modify by mistake and can't undo, then feel free to email me; I can quickly fix this)
- Do NOT enter the 'new line' or 'tab' character into spreadsheet.
- Do NOT upload a new version of the spreadsheet.
- Do NOT hide columns.
- Do NOT sort columns.
