In 2020, a working group from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg (in short: D-A-CH-L) was formed to launch a joint German-language reference translation of SNOMED CT. The German Translation Group (GTG) is supported by SNOMED International. The working group aims to provide a common translation in the German language area. This translation is performed on the basis of concrete use cases (use-case-based); for resource reasons, an overall translation is not aimed at.
Prioritisation is based on the requirements of the health care system in the various countries. Legal tasks to support the electronic patient record or the electronic health record will be given priority.
For the quality assurance of the translations, a published translation guideline is constantly being revised.
You can find out more about the aims and current activities of the GTG here.
