Determining if a Translator is Required

The Determine Translator Required indicator dictates if a client's translation requirements are evaluated automatically by the system within each case in which the client is serving as a case member. If this indicator is set, a client's translation requirements are automatically evaluated based on his or her preferred language and the case owner's language skills.

If the case owner does not have a defined language skill that matches the preferred language of the client recorded during registration, the system automatically determines that translation services are required.

If the case owner has a defined language skill that is the same as the client's preferred language, the system automatically determines that translation services are not required. Note that the system also determines that translation services are not required if no preferred language is recorded for the client.

For information on defining language skills for users, see the Cúram Organization Administration Guide.
Note: The translation requirements setting is common to integrated case types and product case types.
