Web API to create and read translations (i18n)

Support - Assistance technique
1 
Hello all,

We are implementing DHIS for [MSF](http://www.msf.org/) and we had a few questions on the Web API's to read/create translations.

Is there a web api to create translations for the various DHIS entities like data sets, data elements, categories etc.

We are trying to automate configuration of DHIS and we want to create translation of these entities using the web api.

Thanks,

Aravind

Hi Aravind,

at the moment, sorry, no there is not.

However supporting this is a good idea and something we could do.

In technical terms there is some work to be done to make the Translation class extend our base class (BaseIdentfiableObject) used for exchange/import-export.

We could put it on our road map. Is this something your team would be willing to take on? We could if so schedule a call for later and discuss the strategy for implementation.

best regards,

Lars

Hi Lars,

Thanks for the quick response! We can pick this work up sometime next week and we will submit a patch.

We will schedule a call before that to discuss the implementation.
