On a dhis2 instance, the label for the enrollment has been modified for everyone. I can’t find how it happened. Is there a mechanism to override the “system” translations ? I mean the content of : [tracker-capture-app/i18n/i18n\_app\_fr.properties at master · dhis2/tracker-capture-app · GitHub](https://github.com/dhis2/tracker-capture-app/blob/master/i18n/i18n_app_fr.properties#L148) unzipped in tomcat is different for the key “enrollment” (all timestamps looks unzipped/installed at the same time) ```auto cat target/tomcat.8080/webapps/expanded/dhis-web-tracker-capture/i18n/i18n_app_fr.properties | grep Admi enrollment=Admission du (de la) survivant (e) ``` I’ve looks in `/api/i18n` but haven’t found how it could have been modified through the api is there such api ? is possible that the person rebuilt the app and deployed it ? ---

ok the translation is “bad” in the released war downloading [https://releases.dhis2.org/40/dhis2-stable-40.5.0.war](https://releases.dhis2.org/40/dhis2-stable-40.5.0.war) unzipping and looking at /dhis-web-tracker-capture/i18n/i18n\_app\_fr.properties and I have the same translation ---

Hi @Stephan_Mestach The DHIS2 Core Team uses Transifex to manage the translations (read more here: [Localization of DHIS2 - DHIS2 Documentation](https://docs.dhis2.org/en/implement/maintenance-and-use/localization-of-dhis2.html?h=transifex#translation-server)) If there are specific strings that are mistranslated and you’d like to share them here, it will help @christiansaka (HISP WCA) and team review them. Thanks! ---

Well the original translation `Enrôlement` and `Profile` was probably better (less medical, more compact, less noisy) but I don’t have the background on the decision to change it to `Admission du (de la) survivant (e)` and `Identification du (de la) survivant (e)` but clearly “survivant” should become “suivant” or “patient” (following vs survivor) note it affects 40.x, 41.3.0 looks back to “normal”. ---

Hi @Stephan_Mestach Thanks a lot for your feedback! As the lead of the translation team, may I ask you to be more specific about the issue? I mean you mention the specific terms together with the translation issues related to them! Thanks ---

The translator should have simply translated by “Profil” to avoid any confusion. We will correct that. I have checked “Enrollment” as well. Within the team, we have agreed to translate if by “Inscription”. However, I have noticed that it is being translated by by “Enrôlement” by translator outside our team. We will do our best so as to haormonize. Thanks ---

Do you know if a 40.x will fix that ? ---

Hi @Stephan_Mestach Every weekend, the latest translation updates are synchronised to the development branches of the maintained versions. This means that, as long as changes are made more than a couple of weeks before a patch release, they _should_ just go into the patch automatically. You can also check the [dev](https://play.im.dhis2.org/dev-2-40) version on our play site; if that contains the fix, then it will be in the next patch (_unless the patch has been frozen for our release testing, which happens about one week before the target release date_). So the answer to your question is, “yes”. Although the next v40 patch is a couple of months away.
