Hi Sourabh,

I don’t think DHIS2 is at fault here, it should be the SMS gateway that should handle the decoding of the message string. You will also need to consider the charset of the outgoing text and parameterize it to the gateway (most gateways will default to UTF-8 encoding, unless specified otherwise).

I would advise you to refer the SMS gateway documentation to sort out the details.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
GAURAV

Subject: [Dhis2-devs] Regarding Program Notifications in Language other than English.

Hi All,

Has anyone used the Program Notifications for any regional language.

We have a Use case to send program notifications in Hindi , The gateway we are using supports Unicode sms service. But if we are trying to send same Text from Dhis2 it converts it to special characters.

i.e: Unicode for नमस्ते:  %26%232344%3B%26%232350%3B%26%232360%3B%26%232381%3B%26%232340%3B%26%232375%3B

Have tried with both normal Hindi text and Unicode Text. Both are not currently supported. Using version 2.26 , build revision 44ec074.

Please share your experience.

Thanks in advance.
