OK, then I will wait for the upgrade then expand the localization file.

I am in need to better understand the difference between:
1. Referring Physician
2. Requesting Physician
3. Performing Physician
4. Reading Physician

I feel my translation is vague because I do not clearly understand the roles here

This may be due to the differences in healthcare systems in different countries, but here in the US (and maybe Canada as well), the referring physician is usually the primary family doctor that the patients see most often, the requesting physician is the doctor who requested the procedure/exam to be performed (who usually is the same as the referring physician but may be different in some cases), the performing physician is the doctor who performs the procedure/exam on the patient (who is most likely different from either the referring or requesting physician), and the reading physician is the doctor who reads the radiology report and images from the performed procedure/exam (who may be different from either the referring, requesting or performing doctors).

OK, that makes sense. It is still a bit unclear for me how the study travels between the 4 doctors.

The doctors are usually within the same healthcare provider organization so they will all have access to the same study via a PACS solution such as PacsOne Server.

If some of the doctors are outside of the referring physician's provider network, the referring physician may either export the study into a CD/DVD and send it to the external doctors, or sending an email with the URL link to access the subject study would also work if they have worked out the authentication methods for external access, e.g., VPN, username/password, etc.

Now I have some issues with the character set for Romanian language.

I tried UTF-8 as character set and failed to display proper glyphs. Then I found that ISO-8859-16 will display them all right and sticked with that. However while Chrome (Safari), Opera and Firefox have no problem with it when it comes to IE it does not work as expected.

Even in Poedit I cannot try to switch from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-16 because Poedit support ends at ISO-8859-15

Therefore I am forced now to find a solution to make UTF-8 working. Do you have any idea?

For testing purposes I edited Hello.php, encoded it in UTF-8 instead of ANSI then changed the content to this:

Code: Select all

<?php
session_start();
echo "Test UTF-8: ș ț î ă â";
phpinfo();
?>
The page displays OK in all browsers.[/code]

ISO-8859-2 is a good workaround (technically it replaces some Romanian glyphs with Turkish ones that can still be readable).

If I reencode any of the php files (such as security.php) from ANSI to UTF-8 the glyphs gets completely destroyed in all browsers

Have you searched the UTF-8 spec and see if it supports the Romanian glyphs? You may need to force your web browser to use the Unicode encoding as they may not "automagically" detect and switch to Unicode.

Also, if all the other browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc) can display the glyphs in the ISO-8859-16 charset properly but not MSIE, then maybe the problem is with that particular version of MSIE instead. So have you tried different versions of MSIE (e.g., IE10, IE9, or even IE6, etc) and see if there's any difference?
