I am looking into translating a certain word (Male) in the Bahmni (see picture below)

As far as I could get this is the gender which is not by default translated in any language in Bahmni. The code is under

`/opt/bahmni-web/etc/bahmniapps/clinical/displaycontrols/patientContext/views/patientContext.html`

Any idea how could I translate it?

this would require some code change. I guess translate key lookup was missed. Can you raise a card for this?@binduak @abhinab

Actually I figured this out. We need to change the values in the global settings in the OpenMRS under **mrs.genders**

The problem we’re facing now is with Id and Diagnosis in the WardList view 😕

All the rest can be translated via changing a SQL query ( **emrapi.sqlGet.wardsListDetails** ) under OpenMRS apart from these two fields 😕

@aidjali this would require code changes as we see [here](https://github.com/Bahmni/openmrs-module-bahmniapps/blob/master/ui/app/adt/views/wardList.html#L15)

Hi @binduak , I tried this too but unfortunately I lose some records afterwards. If I change **Id** then I get only a certain ID in the table.

e.g.

Patient A \> IN1234

Patient B \> XK1234

I would only get IN (or XK) 😕 I think the issue then lies with the query itself
