Re: Regarding Program Notifications in Language other than English.

 

Hi Gaurav,

Gateway Actually supports Unicode format , If we are sending message
directly using http request provides by gateway  , it is working fine
there.

Thanks for the reply.

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

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.
