Add New Langauge in OpenMRS-Standalone 2.5

openmrs-standalone: 2.5:

Question: Hi Guys, I have downloaded the above opem-mrs standalone version and I am trying to use the same. Now I have a requirement to add new language lets say “Arabic/Persian (Farsi)”, which is of now is not supported by this version. I tried to follow the steps mentioned in https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Localization+and+Languages for supporting my requirenent, but it seems that the steps mentioned in this link is not for the version I am using. Could someone help me on this on urgent basis as this is a production outrage?.

@himjain241989,

I added a note to that wiki page, which refers to the legacy UI, how to get to those features in OpenMRS Reference Application 2.x+. Unfortunately, the “new” Reference Application does not yet provide easy access to language setting. I thought we had an issue for addressing this, but I was unable to locate it, so I created this one (feel free to vote for it):

FYI – we use Transifex for translations (http://om.rs/translate) and could certainly use help in Farsi translations. :slight_smile:

@burke, actually you can change your locale in Reference Application 2.4+ from My Account -> Default Settings. (This is blocked for the admin user on the demo server.) RA-995 is about improving the UI a bit.

@himjain241989, see the http://om.rs/translate link that Burke provided, to add translations in Arabic and/or Farsi, and then let @ibatista know when you’re nearing completion, so he can coordinate getting this included in a release.

as @burke and @darius say, we have Persian and Arabic on Transifex, you can register and request to be a translator and reviewer. when are complete we put the language in release app.
