I have been trying to internationalize the name/description fields in our DHIS2 app manifest.webapp file.
I created a “locales” section with blocks for our different languages as per: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Build/Localization/Getting_started_with_app_localization
but this does not seem to get picked up when I switch languages.
Is this actually possible?
Thanks
Hi,
As far as I know, this is not currently supported, it might be something to look into in the future though.
Mark: how is this handled for internal apps in the menu?

Hey Morten,
Sorry i missed this one i my inbox 
But Knut is on point.
How it works in the most basic sense (if i remember correctly) is that if the modules action[1] returns a description that one is used. This is the case for installed apps, the description is pulled from the description field in the manifest.
For “default” modules, the modules action does not return a description, if there is no description a lookup is done against the i18n endpoint for that module name where “intro_” is prepended to the name. If the value is not equal the key then then that is used for the description.

Mark
