You may notice that in our French communications, we do not translate “Patients Included” as it is an official status that formally recognizes conferences that adhere to the conference charter clause. No approved official translation of the “Patients Included” status currently exists for our French communications. When promoting “Patients Included” in French, we will keep the official name and logo in English; however, all other communication will remain in French.
