Steve;
My code replaces the existing strings
in the routines with a call to George's Dialog Call with the IEN for the entry
with the extracted string. This instrumented code gets created in a
parallel file which can be tested for actual completeness. My converter
works across all of the VistA code at one time and cross-indexes the routine and
the location that it came from.
You are correct that there needs to be
more work done by someone. The VA has spent much more than it would take
just to do Spanish Pharmacy Lables. Too bad.

Spanish?
Putting text into the Dialog file is the easy part. The more
difficult task (much more difficult) is converting all the existing M code to
use the Dialog file instead of the WRITE and SET commands. Not only is
that more difficult, it requires that the programmer understands the M code
and its potential implications for VistA.
It would also be nice if the VA would export a supported set of Dialog
entries that could be used by any applications. Currently, each
application must create their own Dialog entry or get an Integration Agreement
with the owning application to use their Dialog entry. I think this
would be a necessary requirement for the "portability" of VistA. As it
is now, each application would have to create their own Dialog entry for the
text "Select" (for an example).

The

we
would hope that we might get some help with the conversion to the
DIALOG
file and other technologies to get VistA to work with many
foreign
languages. Some work has been done to extract the
literals, put them into
the DIALOG file and generates instrumented
code. With the populated DIALOG
file and the instrumented
code, that should be at least 80% of the job. The
advantage to
this approach is that adding additional languages and having a
system
which can host multiple languages on the same database. The
selection of the language is by user with a default by the KERNEL
SITE
PARAMETER file.
Sorry you didn't make it to
Pittsburgh.
