Taking Your Application International!

Throughout this book, we have worked with HealthVault as it is available in United States. However, HealthVault has a growing list of implementation partners, and the platform is available in Canada, the UK, and Germany as of this writing. You can work with the HealthVault team to explore releasing your application in each of these countries.

The important aspect to keep in mind is that HealthVault as a service is completely globalized and internationalized. The request and response string that HealthVault displays to a user can be changed to appropriate locales. In fact, you can also make a Spanish version of your application available in the United States. The HealthVault Application Configuration Center, through its Localize tab, allows developers to configure their applications with Spanish strings so that when a user with Spanish browser settings accesses HealthVault, the application’s authorization screen is shown with the appropriate language. The HealthVault Shell redirect interface, which is discussed in detail in Chapter 3, also respects an lcid=Locale ID parameter in its query string to show the appropriate display language in the user interface.

Additionally, HealthVault offers an internationalized set of units and time formats to allow applications to work with appropriate standards in the target country.

With this information, you are all set to stride into the exciting world of enabling Quantified Self with HealthVault!
