Hi Rodolfo, David and Jose,

In order to add translation support with current web API implementation in 
mind, we have to restructure legacy SDK in intrusive way and it will take a lot 
of time and effort. In order to avoid “hacks”, we will have to wait for full 
API translation support. We also will be looking for other possible solutions 
in new version of SDK, I will keep updating you on changes.

Best Regards,
Araz Abishov

Yes, sdk - just waking up.

I think Rodolfo is referring to the SDK... Yes... with the form names and 
option names translated we are ok...

Hi Morton - thanks for the clarification. Now that we know that we have what i 
think are the two critical translations in the API, how difficult would it be 
to add the concept of multilingual to the APK ?

Hi

Translated form names have been available under "displayFormName" for a long 
time, I have added code to 2.22 and trunk to also translate options when 
requesting a optionset (by id or collection). we can't do this for all objects, 
as its a quite heavy operation, normally we only translate a single object or a 
collection of objects

It will be great if we can prioritise the metadata to be multilingual in the 
API. We already know how to translate the Android UI, by generating our own 
build.

I'm copying Morton to see if he can give us an idea of when the API would be 
able to return the Form Name and Options in multilingual format. It is critical 
for many of the implementations that we have in the pipeline in Asia - we need 
the analytics in English, but the data collection, using android, in the local 
language.

Unfortunately, translation of metadata/data is not completely supported in API 
due to some implementation complexities in the core, so we still don’t know 
when exactly we will be able to implement multilingual support for android apps.

What we can do is additional setting for choosing language in application 
preferences (but it will work only for UI prompts). In feature, when API will 
be completely supporting translations, we will be able seamlessly integrate 
support for it in android apps.

Hi Araz,

I am talking about metadata (dataelements, optionsets, etc...). We don't have 
problems with the user interface...

Thanks Araz

Hi Jose and David,

I just have a few questions to understand problem better:

 - Are we talking about translation of application prompts or translation of 
metadata/data?
 - Do you want user to be able to switch languages in user interface? (a 
setting which allows to do that)

Best Regards,
Araz Abishov

Afternoon Jose,

I second the question!

Actually, I’ve had this conversation on another thread over the new-year break 
as we have a similar requirement (English, Russian, Ukrainian) … we’re making 
do with one language at the moment, but the next iteration cycle of the App 
really needs the user to be able to switch languages.

Dear Simen, devs,

some months ago we started a conversation with you to know if the DHIS2-SDK is 
supporting multilingual or not? The answer was:

"unfortunately there isn't very good support for multilingual in the SDK yet. 
It's actually not that much work we just haven't prioritized it yet so it could 
be made available without too much trouble... There is a bit of work that has 
do be done on the server side to update the web API. Unfortunately I would have 
to say that it likely would come in 2016, but when is unknown"

Do you have any updates? was the DHIS2 web API updated? If not, when can we 
expect that? 2.23?

It is becaming some kind of urgent now because we plan to roll-out different 
android apps in different countries (speaking French, English, Spanish, 
Portuguese)..

Please, let us know if you have some more information to share.

Thanks
Jose
