Unfortunately, translation of metadata/data is not completely supported in API due to some implementation complexities in the core, so we still don’t know when exactly we will be able to implement multilingual support for android apps.

What we can do is additional setting for choosing language in application preferences (but it will work only for UI prompts). In feature, when API will be completely supporting translations, we will be able seamlessly integrate support for it in android apps.

Hi Araz,

I am talking about metadata (dataelements, optionsets, etc...). We don't have problems with the user interface...

Thanks Araz

Hi Jose and David,

I just have a few questions to understand problem better:

 - Are we talking about translation of application prompts or translation of metadata/data?
 - Do you want user to be able to switch languages in user interface? (a setting which allows to do that)

Best Regards,
Araz Abishov

Afternoon Jose,

I second the question!

Actually, I’ve had this conversation on another thread over the new-year break as we have a similar requirement (English, Russian, Ukrainian) … we’re making do with one language at the moment, but the next iteration cycle of the App really needs the user to be able to switch languages.

Dear Simen, devs,

some months ago we started a conversation with you to know if the DHIS2-SDK is supporting multilingual or not? The answer was:

"unfortunately there isn't very good support for multilingual in the SDK yet. It's actually not that much work we just haven't prioritized it yet so it could be made available without too much trouble... There is a bit of work that has do be done on the server side to update the web API. Unfortunately I would have to say that it likely would come in 2016, but when is unknown"

Do you have any updates? was the DHIS2 web API updated? If not, when can we expect that? 2.23?

It is becaming some kind of urgent now because we plan to roll-out different android apps in different countries (speaking French, English, Spanish, Portuguese)..

Please, let us know if you have some more information to share.

Thanks
Jose
