Set language of data entry and UI

The EDC application provides flexibility to multilingual studies to perform data collection and review in different languages based on their locations, participating audience, and other factors.

The translation languages are configured on the global (study) and site levels to ensure adaptability to ever-changing requirements and business needs of a sponsor.

Once the translation configurations are set for the study, and the site's primary language is selected, you can switch your EDC UI to the suitable language to enter data and interact with the application conveniently.

Important

The CRF data can be entered only in the site's primary language to ensure a unified approach to data collection and a single original language of raw data. Also, the manual queries can be created and comments can be added only in the site's primary language to maintain integrity.

To set the language of data entry and UI

  1. Log in to eClinical and select the EDC application.

  2. On the application toolbar, from the Language field, select the preferred language of the EDC UI.

Once selected, the EDC UI is displayed in the set language, and if this is the primary language at your site, you can also enter data in it. If the selected language is not primary, you cannot enter data in it; it is only the language of the UI.

Any person, company, institution, group, or organization that is a client of EDETEK and a user of the eClinical system.

In the eClinical system, the Sponsor role is assigned to the user who oversees or pays for a clinical trial and collects and analyzes the data. Before the study goes live, the Sponsor users work closely with the data managers, configuring CRFs and other aspects to make sure everything meets their requirements before giving the green light for the study to go live. In the course of a trial, the Sponsor users make requests for amendments in the system according to a new protocol version, changes in business requirements, or other needs.
