Dear allI'm confused, this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_names_of_calendar_months#Egypt.2C_Sudan.2C_Arabia) states that the Egypt version is the same as the Sudan version of the name of the months.
If I change the interface language in profile settings to/Arabic (Sudan)/ and clearing the cache, it is not reflected anywhere, although the translation file states the correct (read: the Wikipedia) version (http://translate.dhis2.org/ar_SD/dhis2-translations/dhis-service-core/ar_SD.po/translate/#search=January&sfields=source,target).
What I still see: https://i.imgur.com/bowYfyv.png What am I missing?It is possible that we translate more UI terms together with a team of Egyptians, on which version should we work, /Arabic/ or///Arabic (Egypt)/? But it does not mean we can not merge Sudan and Egypt together in one language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_Arabic#Unique_phonological_characteristics) just because of their common names of months.

Dear allI'm coming back to the Egypt version of the Arabic translation. Could you please create an "ar_EG" locale as a fork as suggested?Regards, David On 07.10.2015 15:57, Bob Jolliffe wrote:That sounds like the way it should work :-) On 7 October 2015 at 14:39, Jason Pickering<jason.p.pickering@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:The easiest way is simply to create an "ar_EG" locale. If the translations do not exist in "ar_EG", it will fall back to "ar" and if they do not exist there , it will fall back to English. So, if all that needs to be done in this case, is to translate the month names, then it should be pretty straightforward.

I guess the simplest approach would be just to make a copy (fork) of Arabic on the translation server and change the months. But given the bulk of the similarity one feels there must be a better way. eg. to focus solely on the Arabic po and have a small patch script to generate the Egyptian version?

These strings are not translatable through the user interface. We maintain a translation site here (http://translate.dhis2.org/projects/dhis2-translations/) which the community can use to make translations. Once the translations are complete (or as complete as you like them), we (meaning the core development team) would need to commit these back to the source code. If you would like to proceed with this, I can set up things for you.

The months that are common are (Jan - Dec): يناير , فبراير , مارس , إبريل , مايو , يونيو , يوليو , أغسطس , سبتمبر , أكتوبر , نوفمبر , ديسمبر How would I go on to translate these? Do I have to create a dhis2-language Arabic (Egypt) which uses all Arabic resources except the months?
