GSOC 2025: Interactive Builder for Form Translations within the Form Builder (Interactive Translation Builder?) - Randila

Hello everyone,

My name is Randila Premarathne. I am an undergraduate student pursuing a BEng. in Software Engineering at the University of Westminster (IIT), and I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 with OpenMRS. The project that caught my attention is “Interactive Builder for Form Translations within the Form Builder.”

After reviewing the project details, I understand the key idea behind making form translations more user-friendly. However, I would like to dive deeper into the current approach used for handling form translations in OpenMRS.

Could you provide more details on:

  • The existing implementation of form translations in the form builder
  • Any specific challenges or limitations that need to be addressed
  • Key resources or documentation that would be helpful to explore

Additionally, are there any existing issues in the repository that I can work on to familiarize myself with the codebase? I’d love to contribute and gain hands-on experience before GSoC.

Also, would it be possible to schedule a call or discussion with mentors or contributors to better understand the project scope and expectations? I’d really appreciate any guidance to prepare effectively.

Looking forward to your feedback. Thank you for your time!

Hi Randila,

Re. the existing implementation, this course will help you understand how to use the form builder: https://openmrs.org/academy/form-builder-course/

@nethmi are there any tickets that you think students can work on?

Thank you @nethmi and @jayasanka. I’ll get back to you if anything needed.

Hey everyone. I decided to work on the Auddit logging project. Thank you for your support @jayasanka and @nethmi.
