To translate the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) into French, we proposed a lexical approach using Natural Language Processing techniques. This method relies on the 56 biomedical terminologies and ontologies included in the Cross-lingual Health Multiple Terminologies and Ontologies Portal. From a sample of 336 ICD-11 terms, the algorithm translated 164 (49%) terms into at least one French term each.
