I18n¶

Localidades¶

DHIS2 supports translations both for the user interface and for database content.

IU locales¶

You can retrieve the available locales for the user interface through the following resource with a GET request. XML and JSON resource representations are supported.

/ api / 33 / locales / ui

Localidades de conteúdo de banco de dados¶

You can retrieve and create locales for the database content with GET and POST requests through the dbLocales resource. XML and JSON resource representations are supported. To POST data, there are two required parameters: country and language.

/api/locales/dbLocales?country=US&language=en

Traduções¶

DHIS2 allows for translations of database content. If a metadata is translatable, then it will have a translations property.

That means you can retrieve and update translations using metadata class resources such as api/dataElements, api/organisationUnits, api/dataSets, etc.

Obtenha traduções¶

You can get translations for a metadata object such as DataElement by sending a GET request to api/dataElements/{dataElementUID}

The response contains full details of the DataElement which also includes the translations property as below

{
  "id": "fbfJHSPpUQD",
  "href": "https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/29/dataElements/fbfJHSPpUQD",
  "created": "2010-02-05T10:58:43.646",
  "name": "ANC 1st visit",
  "shortName": "ANC 1st visit",
  "translations": 
  [
    {
      "property": "SHORT_NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "fr",
      "value": "Soin prénatal 1"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "translations": 
  [
    {
      "property": "SHORT_NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "fr",
      "value": "Soin prénatal 1"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    }
  ]
}

Create/Update translations¶

You can create translations by sending a PUT request with same JSON format to api/dataElements/{dataElementUID}/translations

{
  "translations": 
  [
    {
      "property": "SHORT_NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "fr",
      "value": "Soin prénatal 1"
    },
    {
      "property": "DESCRIPTION",
      "locale": "fr",
      "value": "description in french"
    },
    {
      "property": "FORM_NAME",
      "locale": "fr",
      "value": "name in french"
    }
  ]
}

Alternatively, you can also just update the object with payload including the translations property.

Send PUT request to api/dataElements/{dataElementUID} with full object payload as below:

{
  "id": "fbfJHSPpUQD",
  "created": "2010-02-05T10:58:43.646",
  "name": "ANC 1st visit",
  "shortName": "ANC 1st visit",
  "translations": 
  [
    {
      "property": "SHORT_NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "fr",
      "value": "Soin prénatal 1"
    },
    {
      "property": "NAME",
      "locale": "en_GB",
      "value": "ANC 1st visit"
    }
  ]
}

The status code will be 204 No Content if the data value was successfully saved or updated, or 409 Conflict if there was a validation error (e.g. more than one SHORT_NAME for the same locale).

The common properties which support translations are listed in the table below.

As classes que oferecem suporte a traduções estão listadas na tabela abaixo.

Internacionalização¶

In order to retrieve key-value pairs for translated strings you can use the i18n resource.

/ api / 33 / i18n

The endpoint is located at /api/i18n and the request format is a simple array of the key-value pairs:

[
  "access_denied",
  "uploading_data_notification"
]

The request must be of type POST and use application/json as content-type. An example using curl, assuming the request data is saved as a file keys.json:

curl -d @keys.json "play.dhis2.org/demo/api/33/i18n" -X POST
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u admin:district

O resultado será assim:

{
  "access_denied": "Access denied",
  "uploading_data_notification": "Uploading locally stored data to the server"
}
