NLM MeSH Translation Management System to Retire on December 31, 2018

NLM MeSH Translation Management System to Retire on December 31, 2018. NLM Tech Bull. 2018 Nov-Dec;(425):b5.

The MeSH Translation Management System (MTMS), a service that allowed authorized groups to create a non-English translation of the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) Vocabulary, will be discontinued on December 14, 2018, and fully retired on December 31, 2018. The MTMS is based on legacy software that will not be updated and access mechanisms that no longer meet currently required standards. The authorized translating groups were notified of this plan in early May 2018 so they could begin planning for future efforts of their own to create MeSH vocabulary translations. The MTMS will be retained through December 2018 to allow current translators the ability to create a translated version of the 2019 MeSH Vocabulary.
