Re: Help! What has happened to my data element and indicator translations?

 

This should be part of the upgrade procedure actually. If this did not
happen, then we would need more information from your logs. Something may
have gone wrong during the update.

Do you happen to have any views directly on the database itself (not
created through DHIS2?) Did you drop all views prior to upgrading as
reccomended in the upgrade notes?
