OpenHIE is an open, global community of people building an open framework to support nations as they develop health information exchanges (HIE) to improve patient care, public health, and the management of resources. We value sharing knowledge and building relationships to make HIE available to all. To facilitate global collaboration we welcome contributions to translate the OpenHIE specification, documents or web pages (ie. impact stories, blog posts) in as many languages as possible. As a non-profit we rely on the support of members and other parties to provide or fund unofficial translations that help countries adopt and implement the OpenHIE framework.
We invite you to volunteer to translate or fund the translation of the OpenHIE specification, documents or web pages into another language. You may work alone or together with others in the community. To begin:
If you have already translated an OpenHIE document into another language, please contact us at translate@ohie.org, so we may direct others to your work and promote your contribution by posting it on our site or providing a link to yours.
