Re: [Health] Modifications to the GNU Health Base Configuration

[Christoph H. Larsen]

Dear Luis,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply! Date format change worked like a
charm, however, I have problems with term translations.
Sure enough, I find the list of nearly 10,000 terms, and tried the
folllowing (using en_US as defaultl anguage from within Tryton as well
as the whole system):
Change the "source" term by double-clicking, editing and saving, as -
strictly speaking - term modifications are not translations. No effect,
despite re-starting trytond.
Then, I made the default language en_US translatable (in the language
section), and added a translation value to the terms I did not like,
i.e. "Medicaments" -> "Drugs". No effect either, deespite re-starting
the system.
Now I feel rather stupid. Anything I missed.

BTW, we should get rid off the word "medicament(s)", as it is not really
English: "drug(s" (in contrast to "recreational drugs" (I would avoid
the legalistic illicit in this context!) in the lifestyle tab looks fine
to me. "medication" is more of a summary term, and used nicely in the
system.

Thoughts, ideas? Thanks a lot!

Chris
