Just wanted to give a shout-out of appreciation for the Consumer Names (Alpha).  
We are going to be leveraging those for our lab results display in our patient portal.  
Any future plans for additional languages here?

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for the feedback. Is there a list of languages you need for use in a patient portal?

In the Netherlands we are working on translations of Long Common Names, short names, display names and consumer names; we expect to have the first batch finished by summer.

Does the linguistic variants file support the addition of those different translation types?
