Searching and browsing

From the Full perspective view, the SNOMED CT Spanish Edition can be browsed and searched as described in Browse SNOMED CT International Edition concepts. The SCT Browser functionality is identical whichever Edition is being browsed; the differences are the default presentation language and the content itself which is from the chosen Edition. Whilst the application display language (navigational elements and labelling) can be switched to any of the options in the header dropdown list, the SNOMED CT Spanish Edition content itself will always show in Spanish.
