Hi David,
I spoke with Lars about this, and this is not currently supported, so for the time being, there is not much we can do. Once it is supported, then your translations should work.
We have added a few blueprints here
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/period-translations-data-entry
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/period-translations-analysis-apps
Thanks for the translations however, and hope it can be supported soon.
Regards,
Jason

The month names are correct on github
and I deployed this war file from Build #227:What I noticed is that only May has a field *msgctxt* , but I don't know if this is relevant. Yes it may be a bug? I checked with a 2.20 instance and there the month names in data entry and data visualizer won't change after language change in profile settings. On 31.03.2016 10:22, Jason Pickering wrote:
No, there should be no need to review them. Once you are logged in and submit them, then I have to sync things with the source code, which I thought i did.
Could you please review https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-translations/blob/master/dhis-service-core/ar_EG.po
and see if they are correct there? Many strings are empty, so don't worry about those, just search for "janurary" and you should see them.
Otherwise, you will need to install the absolute latest build from the CI server to see any changes there.
Having said all of that, I am not sure these translations actually do anything. On [https://play.dhis2.org/dev](https://play.dhis2.org/dev) , I changed the language to a range of different ones (including ones I know we have translations for) and they seem to do nothing, at least in the data entry page.
This looks more like a bug to me.
Morten/Lars can you comment on whether periods can actually be translated?
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason
Thanks a lot. I see there is the Egyptian flavor in place, but I could not see any changes made to the Arabic main translations because they are still in "suggested" state, although I submitted them the same way as the other. Does somebody have to review them first? Best regards DavidOn 31.03.2016 08:17, Jason Pickering wrote:

These show up only as suggestions in the system, and are not written to the source code when we sync with the server.

Dear Jason
In response to this old thread: I finally translated some terms for * Arabic (Egypt)* (only months differ) and missing *Arabic* translations. Could you please be so kind and commit them back to the source code? Best regards David On 27.10.2015 17:14, Jason Pickering wrote:
Hi David,
Although the language is there, the translation is not complete (or even started). Just like Egyptian Arabic, we have created a placeholder in the code for you to begin the translation process. If no translation is found, the interface falls back to English.
In the case you highlight, there is no translation thus the fallback to English.
For country variants, the Egyptian Arabic term (ar_EG) would be preferred over the based Arabic term (ar). This allows for partial variant translations, whereby you can utilize what has been translated in the main language (ar) and only translate the terms which differ. If no translation is found in either "ar" or "ar_EG", then the English term will be used.
Have a look at the statistics of the server (attached) and it will give you an idea of the level of completeness of each language. As you can see Arabic is pretty well translated, while Sudanese and Egyptian Arabic are really yet to be started.
It's up to you really to decide how to organize the translation. I know nothing about the difference between the two countries, but it would seem to make sense. Up to now, there has been little translation in the Sudanese Arabic, so I would suggest you just proceed. I can put you in touch with the people who were planning to do the Sudanese Arabic if you would like.
Regards,
Jason

Dear all
I'm confused, this article ([](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_names_of_calendar_months#Egypt.2C_Sudan.2C_Arabia)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_names_of_calendar_months#Egypt.2C_Sudan.2C_Arabia](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 (
).
What I still see: [](https://i.imgur.com/bowYfyv.png)[https://i.imgur.com/bowYfyv.png](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)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_Arabic#Unique_phonological_characteristics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_Arabic#Unique_phonological_characteristics) ) just because of their common names of months.
Best regards

I'm coming back to the Egypt version of the Arabic translation. Could you please create an "ar_EG" locale as a fork as suggested?

That sounds like the way it should work :-) On 7 October 2015 at 14:39, Jason Pickering <jason.p.pickering@gmail.com> 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 wonder what would be the smartest way of building on (and feeding back into) the existing Arabic translation work. 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?

Hi David, We would need to create a new language for you (Arabic Egypt) and you would need to translate it there. These strings are not translatable through the user interface. We maintain a translation site here ([](http://translate.dhis2.org/projects/dhis2-translations/)[http://translate.dhis2.org/projects/dhis2-translations/](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. Best regards, Jason On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 10:46 AM, David Huser <david.huser@swisstph.org> wrote:
