Thank you Jason for the prompt  response. 


We will upgrade the war file and review the translation.


Regards,

Sam.

Hi Sam,I have integrated a number  of the translations. You can grab the latest war file herehttps://ci.dhis2.org/job/dhis2-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dhis-2/dhis-web/dhis-web-portal/target/dhis.war

in about 30 minutes. 
I  will keep you updated about the rest, but this might allow you to get started and see how things are going. 
I will be in Asia next week, so may be a bit out of touch, however, we need to  touch base about how to proceed with the rest of the translations. I have made a number of changes to the workflow which I will need to brief you on. 
Regards,Jason

Thank you Jason,
The translation is looking good so far. A few new items missing, however, they will be translated later.
Regarding the translation App, it is much better than the current option of the multiple clicks on an object to get the translation done. Our critical need is the ability to push 1000+ translations to the server x2 since it will have to be done for both Dari and Pushto.
Then also, if the RTL can be implemented as well, then we can wait for a fix and use that instead. This would have been our second requirement after the addition of the solar Hijri calendar to the DHIS2.

Otherwise, we are open to using any available tools/ scripts that have been developed by the team for translation.
regards, Sam.

Note that you need to select the "prs" locale. We have an issue with certain locales not being translated.

I have the first ones in. Please have a look  on the dev server.

Have a look here
https://play.dhis2.org/dev/dhis-web-translations/index.html

Docs here
https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/implementer/html/translations-app.html

I think the template might work, but we have also developed some scripts to use the normal translation tools (PO Edit, Pootle) with the medata as well. This might be a  better approach. 
Anyway, maybe take a look at the translations app and see if that would be an option for you? One issue I can think of right off the bat is the lack of RTL support. We might be able to fix that quickly however. Have a look at that app first and see if it fits your use case a bit better and let me know. 
Regards,Jason

No, we had not looked at the new translation app. We would not mind trying it out as well especially if it will be easier to use.
How can we access it?

P.s Attached is the template we had developed, hoping to use it to maintain a translation record as well.
regards,

Great.  Thanks.  Will let you know when we have something ready to test. 


Did you have a look at the new translation app?  It's only available on the DEV site but I think it will help with the Metadata translation.

Hi Jason,
Find attached the translated DHIS2 Dari (Afghanistan Persian) files for upload to the DHIS2. It is the first draft that will be fine tuned as the end users test the system. The Pushto translation will follow hopefully within a month.

And on another note, using the DHIS2 translation manual, we have been working on a translation template for the metadata. Unfortunately the CREATE statement below has failed to run in 2.25. Can you please help to verify if something has changed that should also be reflected in the manual. 

curl -X POST -u admin:Pa$$w0rd "http://localhost:8282/dhis/api/translations/"; -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d'{"id":"U5QzK3jiuKF", "objectId":"iJP7k1NOjJq", "className":"DataElement", "locale":"fa", "property":"name", "value":"demo name translation"}'

I am attaching the error file as well as an xml of the data element in question.
Regards,Sam.

Hi Sam,We need to do some setup on our side first. Those languages are for the user interface of the translation server, not the actual translation language. 
I have now enabled translation for Dari Persian (language code = prs) and Pashto ( language code = ps) for the core translations. 
There are many others which need to be translated, but I would suggest that you start with the "dhis-service-core" folder, and then we can go from there. 
Once you finish that, please get in touch with my via direct email, as I will need to sync these with the source code. 
Translation files can be downloaded for offline translation, using a tool like "POEdit". You can get the translation template from https://translate.dhis2.org/export/?path=/prs/dhis2-translations/dhis-service-core/dhis-service-core-prs.po for instance. 
If you have any other problems, let us know. 
Also, thanks for pointing out the manual is out of date. We will try and get it updated. 
Regards,Jason

Hi Jason,
We would like to work on the translation for 2 languages: Dari and Pashto in the DHIS 2. The translation guide in the implementer's manual provides some instructions that are slightly different from the current translation server user interface. I have a couple of questions.
- Do we have an updated guide?- Do you need to setup the project first before we can do anything (Under settings -> Translation, -> Alternative source language, I see Pashto-ps and not Dari)- Then also does it have a provision for downloading a translation template which can be populated and used to update the server afterward?
