Re: translation

Hi, I work in the Italian Healthcare System too and my company develop an EHR software used in some hospitals here, we use DDD to model the domain and... we started using English terms for our first subdomain, then we discovered (as Mauro said) that terms translations was another cost added to the system.
 Our 'short' term plan do not take into account porting this software outside Italy, so we decided to stop translating terms (it just adds another burden between you and you domain experts sometimes) and use whatever our doctors/domain experts use (beeing them italian or english terms, even if, as Mauro again stated, they are sometimes very ugly).
 

 We can always do a massive rename later if the benefits are worth it.
 

 cheers.
 Alessandro.
