Re: Problem displaying translation of dataelements in data entry

 

I've tried this on a different computer and it appears to work again!  I'm not sure why Chrome on my laptop continues to show the same error.  Sorry for the false alarm.  I'll uninstall and re-install Chrome to see if that makes a difference.

Subject: [Dhis2-users] Problem displaying translation of dataelements in data entry

I’m not sure if others have had this issue, but in Rwanda we have some of our forms in both French and Kinyarwanda.  We have translated all of the data elements and are using section forms.  In theory, when we use section forms rather than custom forms, the data element names should change automatically when the database language changes.

This does not appear to work!

When I change database languages and I go to the data element list I see the names displayed in the new language.  However when I go to data entry or to edit a dataset section form – I only see the names displayed in the default language.  What is strange is that one of the section forms is actually working correctly (out of about 12!).

We are using version 2.8 of DHIS-2 and I have cleared system cache through the Database maintenance module and cleared my local cache to no avail.

Any tips, advise would be greatly appreciated.
