DHIS - arabic translation

Hi - as far as I know DHIS is not in arabic at the moment.

Would DHIS support the rendering on the arabic character set, including right/ left flow of the text on screen and data entry, as well as the rendering of the sub-menu to render on the right?

Rodolfo

Hi Rodolfo,

this requirement came up from WHO EMRO not long ago. It is something we would like to implement in not too distant future but had no time for it yet.

This will require that we

  • create a new DHIS 2 “style”, where we flip sides of menus etc. Text direction is supported in css.

  • translate all strings to arabic

regards,

Lars

Thanks Lars for the prompt answer. There is an NGO that may be able to help with the translation part, as part of the collaboration.

Please ignore any typos on this email sent from my mobile, probably written while I was at the park with the kids, at the airport walking to the gate, or sleepless (although exhausted). Grammatical faults? I’m sorry- I do my best

That sounds great - much appreciated. I am sure we can facilitate the translation, just let us know.

Hi - quick question: how many words need to be translated in the system?

Yup.

I put together a screencast here as well, which explains how to get started with the translation server

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7rkuvThKdk

If you are going to start to translate a new language, please let me know in advance, as the workflow is a bit less automated than it should be. However, for Arabic, it should be OK to go ahead and start to work with what is already there.

Regards,

Jason

I think it’s important to keep in mind that many (most?) of the strings are for maintenance modules, which can often be kept in English, or at least less critical/urgent to translate.

We should make a list of the most urgent ones.
