Greek translation not shown

[Kostas Stefanou]

Dear All,

I am using edx Dogwood release and I am facing the following issue:

I have successfully downloaded greek translation files using transifex and set the language to my edx site.

Most of the translations show up in greek as expected.

The problem is that some of the translated strings do not show up, although they are translated from english to greek in the respective files and the .mo files are generated correctly.

As far as I have seen, this happens to the bookmark-related strings, search-related strings and forum-related strings.

Could it be something wrong with the use of the translation in the .underscore files or something related to that? In the Cypress release, these translations all work fine.

Could it be a release-related problem? Could it be that transifex files work well in one release and not in the next one?

Best Regards,

Kostas.

Hi Kostas,

There is a bug that was introduced with handling JavaScript translations, but I thought that was in a later release than Dogwood. It might be this issue, or maybe it is something else:

Let us know what you find out.

Thanks,

Dear Andy,

thank you for your quick response.

So there is an issue with the static build of the JS i18n files not picking up translations from installed Django apps.

Is there any workaround for this (I know it is a bug, but maybe someone has already found their way around this issue)?

I also read in this forum a similar problem with ukranian language.

Should I import the untranslated strings in 'apps/edx/edx-platform/lms/static/js/i18n/el/django.js' file and build it again (if needed)?

If yes, how should I do this (is there any guide for this)?

Best Regards,

Kostas.
