Open Dental Forum

I have a lot of foreign patients and they like to have their treatment plans (and invoices) in their own language (and currency)
I'm trying to find a way to print out the treatment plan in various languages. Is it possible and how?
Best regards

I think you'd have to make a copy of your treatment plan sheet for every foreign version desired and translate it yourself manually.

Thank you. I understand, but other than treatment plan form, can I translate all descriptions in the procedures list, so that my treatment plan is generated in the patient's language. I tried to create a different fee schedule, but I can set different prices only, the descriptions are still in defoult language. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Phew, I've never actually been asked that before. I guess you could create a "duplicate" code for each code in a different language.
e.g.
T1024 - This is the english description
T1024f - C'est la description française
T1024s - Esta es la descripción española

Claims will only send the first 5 characters so your claims should work just fine. I think claims will always send the English description as well so the only time you'll see the other version is within Open Dental (e.g. modules, statements, and etc). You might want to call in to support to make sure this suggestion is a good suggestion before delving into it cause it sounds very time consuming.

I do find this interesting; CDT codes in patient's own language for treatment planning. Let me know how it works out for you.

I'll try that, thank you
