Unfortunately, translation of metadata/data is not completely supported in API 
due to some implementation complexities in the core, so we still don’t know 
when exactly we will be able to implement multilingual support for android apps.

What we can do is additional setting for choosing language in application 
preferences (but it will work only for UI prompts). In feature, when API will 
be completely supporting translations, we will be able seamlessly integrate 
support for it in android apps.

Hi Araz,

I am talking about metadata (dataelements, optionsets, etc...). We don't have 
problems with the user interface...

Thanks Araz

Hi Jose and David,

I just have a few questions to understand problem better:

 - Are we talking about translation of application prompts or translation of 
metadata/data?
 - Do you want user to be able to switch languages in user interface? (a 
setting which allows to do that)

Best Regards,
Araz Abishov

Afternoon Jose,

I second the question!

Actually, I’ve had this conversation on another thread over the new-year break 
as we have a similar requirement (English, Russian, Ukrainian) … we’re making 
do with one language at the moment, but the next iteration cycle of the App 
really needs the user to be able to switch languages.

Dear Simen, devs,

some months ago we started a conversation with you to know if the DHIS2-SDK is 
supporting multilingual or not? The answer was:

"unfortunately there isn't very good support for multilingual in the SDK yet. 
It's actually not that much work we just haven't prioritized it yet so it could 
be made available without too much trouble... There is a bit of work that has 
do be done on the server side to update the web API. Unfortunately I would have 
to say that it likely would come in 2016, but when is unknown"

Do you have any updates? was the DHIS2 web API updated? If not, when can we 
expect that? 2.23?

It is becaming some kind of urgent now because we plan to roll-out different 
android apps in different countries (speaking French, English, Spanish, 
Portuguese)..

Please, let us know if you have some more information to share.

Thanks
Jose
