An example is the translation of |Pericardium| to Norwegian (Figure 11). Medical dictionaries and encyclopedias list “perikard” and “hjertesekk” (literally “heart sac”) as synonyms and valid translations. For most practical uses, this would be true. However, the translator should keep in mind the fine granularity of the SNOMED CT concept hierarchy, in which the |Pericardium| is a superordinate concept that includes several subordinate concepts, including the |Pericardial sac|. Considering the concepts in the hierarchy, the proper translation of |Pericardium| is “perikard”, while “hjertesekk” is equivalent to |Pericardial sac|.
