GSoC 2025: Contributing to the Interactive Form Translation Builder!

Community GSoC

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m Ishan Sawai, a 2nd-year student at National Institute of Technology Agartala and a web development enthusiast. I’ve gone through the Interactive Builder for Form Translations within the Form Builder project in detail, and I’m super excited to contribute to this project and become a part of the OpenMRS community!

Currently, adding translations to a form involves placing them in a configuration folder for Iniz, which has several challenges:

  • It requires a developer’s help to figure out where and how to add translations.
  • The JSON format is quite different from the form structure, making it tricky for non-technical users.
  • There’s no simple, interactive way to manage translations.

To improve this, I’d love to work on building a UI that enables users to add and manage translations for forms dynamically.

Could @Nethmi or anyone from the community guide me on:

:small_blue_diamond: Where the current translation system is implemented

:small_blue_diamond: How I can start contributing to OpenMRS

I’ve also created a GitHub repository for this initiative so that we can start organizing ideas and contributions: form-translation-ui.

I’m really looking forward to working on this, and this summer is going to be amazing! :rocket:

Thanks! —Ishan

Hey @ishansawai121 :waving_hand:

You can go through this Contributor Guide to get started.

For understading form schema, interactive builder go through this repo form-builder. The form engine source code : form-engine-lib

You can find epics of form builder here Jira

I would suggest go through the reference material to get a better idea project wiki.
