Topic: Translation of Narratives

I need to handle the multi language translation of the narratives.
I supposed to do this enhancing the narrative data type with an extension derived from the current “Translation” (http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation) extension. This extends string and markdown, my plan was to add the Narrative as context, and allow for xthml content.
I can I do this with forge ? I tried in different ways but I’ve not been able to find a clue…
what I found for xhtml is http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/rendering-xhtml, but this is an extension and not a profile; in the Narrartive dattype xhtml seems to be handled as a custom data type; but I've not been able to replicate this in my profile...

any help is more than welcome

..waiting for a final solution for the time being i used a string datatype..

Hi @Giorgio Cangioli, you could create a custom profile on the Narrative datatype. Then you can constrain the narrative element in any resource profile by assigning the canonical url of the custom Narrative profile to the type.profile property of the Narrative type declaration. You can perform these steps in Forge. If you then reload the resource profile, Forge will try to expand the custom Narrative profile.

That sounds like the right approach for this, Michel. Thanks.

Hi @Rob Hausam and @Michel Rutten . This is what I suppose to have done ...

WHat I've not been able to do is to have the same data type for the "div" and the "transaltedDiv" elements. That is xhtml.

Currently the translatedDiv is a pure string....

Hmm, interesting... Apparently FHIR does not allow you to define an extension of type "Narrative" or "Xhtml". So I guess you're stuck. Maybe @Grahame Grieve or @Lloyd McKenzie can chip in?
