Add Persian Language to Taiga

[Vahid]

Hi

i translated taiga back&front to Persian language (Farsi). i followed bellow steps to add it to taiga:

 - add locales to front (dist/locales/locale-<LANG_CODE>.json)

 - add locales to back (taiga/locale/<LANG_CODE>/LC_MESSAGES/django.po) and generate .mo file

 - enabled the new language in taiga-back/settings/common.py

now i have persian in language menu (profile edit page). but if i choose فارسی it load strings without translation (check screenshots)

whats the problem? encoding?!

[Vahid]

Hi again, 

now it load persian strings. but i have many internal error in my browser. and also menu and pages dont work correct (even i cant change language!) . after change "fa" folder in /home/taiga/taiga-back/taiga/locale pages and function worked and i could change language to english again. maybe my .mo version have problem or maybe it have problem with my encoding.

i generete mo file with this softwate: https://poedit.net ,and i change encoding of .po and .mo to UTF-8-BOM

can you guide me is it correct or if not how can i do it?

also i see in common.py in /home/taiga/taiga-back/settings a line which it seems very useful for my language:

# Languages using BiDi (right-to-left) layout
LANGUAGES_BIDI = ["he", "ar", "fa", "ur"]

but do you sure it work correct in taiga? i did not see any change in style after choose my rtl language.

[Vahid]

is there anybody to help?!

Hello Vahid!

Thank you very much for your work and sorry for the delay on my reply.  We were busy preparing for a new release. I will take a look today in order to add fa-IR to taiga.

Just a quick question, are Transifex translations up to date?

Regards!

Sorry Vahid.

The reason why we don't answer is that we need to look into the issue in more detail because it's been harder than we thought.

[Vahid]

Hello again Vahid.

We almost have Persian support! We only need to translate again 7 strings. Those problematic strings have a special format to allow pluralization. Take a look at this example:

This is the original string:

```

        "DISCOVER_SUBTITLE": "{projects, plural, one{One public project to discover} other{# public projects to discover}}",

```

To translate this string, you only have to translate MESSAGE_ONE and MESSAGE_MANY: {var, plural, one{MESAGE_ONE} other{MESSAGE_MANY}}.

In this case something like this:

```

        "DISCOVER_SUBTITLE": "{projects, plural, one{... تک ...} other{# ...بسیاری...}}",

```

So, please, go to the Transifex project, review the missing translations and we will add them to Taiga.

More details in https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-front/pull/1453/commits/c769940027c756224b87e43ad9d7c80136022e43

Thank you!

Hi again

i re-upload locale-fa.json and now persian language is ok without error in browser console. so now we need to test another feature : BIDI

i see in common.py in /home/taiga/taiga-back/settings a line which it seems very useful for my language:

# Languages using BiDi (right-to-left) layout
LANGUAGES_BIDI = ["he", "ar", "fa", "ur"]

but do you sure it work correct in taiga? i did not see any change in style after choose my rtl language.

Thank you Miguel , and can you explain BIDI Function? it must detect RTL language automatically and load RTL style for them, yes? is it work for you?

Hi Vahid.

I have to say it's very difficult to me to know if RTL is working properly.

To clarify, what do you see in https://tree.taiga.io when you activate فارسی‏ in https://tree.taiga.io/user-settings/user-profile? Is RTL style correct?

Best regards!

[Vahid]

Hi Miguel.

RTL Style is Mirror of LTR Style. all elements in left side must go to right and All in Right side Must go to Left and also Text string must use RTL format too. you can see my exprience of فارسی language on tree.taiga.io in attached screenshot. as you see i dont see any change in theme style after change language to persian. for example, in a RTL view, left side menu (section which i named A) must go to section which i marked with B (and all other elements with same way). I hope you understand me.

Hi Vahid, 

only one aclaration about this settings.

LANGUAGES_BIDI = ["he", "ar", "fa", "ur"]

this is related to the backend (django framework) so nothing change in the frontend of taiga. Right now there is nothing implemented to apply BIDI in taiga interface, only in the text editor where you can click over the RTL icon.

 

Regards
