Hello! Is anyone aware of guidance or an implementation supporting localized question text with a FHIR questionnaire?

is this a language translation thing? (btw, there is a specific questionnaire stream)

Yes, the goal in this case is to provide supported translations within the questionnaire itself with out needing to define different questionnaires or items for each language. Thank you for the guidance on the existing topic. I can move the conversation to the existing topic if that is the preference.

let's handle this question here, and you can take follow ups over there. The answer is that we have a translation extension: http://hl7.org/fhir/extension-translation.html

you can use this anywhere where there's text. My questionnaire editor supports that extension

Excellent thank you! I was looking for that and can't believe I missed it.

We should actually include an example that does that in the Structured Data Capture IG. @Dustin Burson, if you submit a change request, we'll do so. (If you want to submit an example you've created that already does it, I promise I'll buy you a beer if ever we meet in person :))

FWIW, here's a "withdrawing from study" questionnaire in 4 languages that were done as part of a ResearchKit app: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usz-rdsc/c-tracker-sccs-questionnaires/master/c-tracker.survey-in-app.withdrawal.json
