I'm happy to see that ProZ offered us this possibility to discuss medical issues. I really want to say thanks a lot to the staff, namely to Lucia !
Now, who will be the first ?
Long live to our forum.

Nice to see we can start this forum about medical translations.

Hello,
just got the message. I only ask myself, whether terminology can be discussed here, because it's all in English...
Anyway, about QA issues, agency demands and sortlike topics I think, this is a very interesting idea.
Kind regards,
Sibylle

I still think that the place for discusing terminology is Kudoz.

Hi Walter,
We can bump into many Kudoz medical questions, which are actually so brand new terms that you cannot find any information about them. For example medical instrument parts, without images.. To create the correct translation first you want to know what it means in English, whether anybody has met the given term and when you are among translators, who are specialized in medical translation, it's more likely that you receive the correct answer since maybe somebody had already translated that term but to a different language than yours. I think it is more efficient than asking the term in from English to English pair for example. So when the answer/answers are not satisfactory on kudoz, or you have doubts, you have this forum as a "second help".
You can discuss your opinion, your doubts concerning a term ..
What do you think?
Best regards,
Katalin

Hi Katalin,
I think since Kudoz already has a debate section, I`d use this forum only as a last resort.

Hi Walter,
According to a new FAQ rule, a professional discussion is extremely limited in the discussion:
http://www.proz.com/faq/119464#119464
3.14 - Under what conditions can an answerer use the discussion entries feature? [Direct link]
Answerers can use the discussion entry to ask the asker for context information or to engage in linguistic discussions of some points of the question asked. In general, opinions on other answers should be provided in the peer grading interface while additional comments supporting their answers should be presented as comments in the answers themselves. Systematic use of the discussion entry to promote an answer provided will not be allowed.

Of course, Kudoz stays the first step on ProZ for terminological questions.

where all languages are accepted simultaneously.
I mean if you have, for instance, a terminological issue about the name of a new surgical device property, that nobody has never yet translated from English to Turkish, and you can't even figure out what it is exactly, you can discuss directly and simultaneously in both languages with colleagues specializing in both languages and in that very specific domain, and try to find together the appropriate neologism. And nothing will stop some colleagues working in the EN>IT pair, for instance again, from joining the discussion, if interested in the search of the corresponding Italian neologism. There is no limit, provided that you discuss terminology.
I am not advertising, just suggesting a solution to a specific need
Have a nice evening

As far as I can figure out, language here's English "only" !
So this will allow to discuss issues one would miss in Kudows when posted in a laguage pair you don't practice.
.....am I clear ?
In any case, "hello everybody" and thanks a lot Catherine and ProZ Staff for this opportunity.
Cheers,
Lionel
