Cannot change language to Vietnamese in Sumuc version

Site Operators
1

Hello everybody,
I have been planning to upgrade OpenEdx from Koa native to Sumac version. I have installed Sumac by using Tutor on server dev, I tried to changed language to Vietnamese by:
Change language code in config file to vi, after that running command: tutor local start -d, but language is still English by default.
Did I do something wrong?
Please help me to resolve the issue. Thanks

Hey @omar is there something different about translations using Atlas in Sumac that would change how this is done since Koa?

hi @sarina, I will deploy a new version, not upgrading from Koa. I don’t know how to change language to Vietnamese

@vuthehuyht did you change your language in the account settings?

There’s a couple of little documented feature flags that you need to enable such as “Dark Lang” feature in the lms /admin panel. Did you enable that there?

5

@omar It is enabled by default like that

That is LMS and CMS, but to MFE do I have to rebuild it?

I’m checking and I’ve found two issues:

Regarding MFEs, yes. Please set ATLAS_REVISION: open-release/sumac.master and rebuild MFEs. It should show you the latest translations in the following file: openedx-translations/translations/frontend-app-learning/src/i18n/messages/vi.json at open-release/sumac.master · openedx/openedx-translations · GitHub

The account MFE needs to be patched to add Vietnamese as well due to an open but unresolved issue:

I hope that helps.

Thank your help
I forked it to my github and fixed it.
To MFEs, I did your instructions, but the language is still English, not changing to Vietnamese.
I did a small patch to account MFE, but after rebuilding, I do not see the new language option I added

@vuthehuyht Unfortunately, the project I work on still using the old account page so I’m not really sure what the fix it.

@omar I see. I have checked the cookies, I see that: openedx-language-preference: en. It seems I missed any settings. Do you know?

@omar I have forked translations of edx-platform to my repo and fixed it. And I rebuilt edx-platform but language is still English not changing to Vietnamese.
Here is inside container

The po file in vi compiled

@vuthehuyht
I also use the Sumac version. Here’s what I did to get translations working:

  1. You need to enable darkLang.

  2. Add the Language Selector in Site Configuration.

  3. If you are using your own fork, you need to specify it with the command:

tutor config save --set ATLAS_REPOSITORY="your_username/openedx-translations" --set ATLAS_REVISION="branch"
  1. Then rebuild the images:
tutor images build openedx  
tutor images build mfe --no-cache  
tutor local start -d

translations don’t apply to MFE without --no-cache — I’m not sure why, but you can ask about this on the forum
After all these steps, translations will apply 100% of the time.
If this doesn’t help, it’s likely that there is an issue in your Open edX installation, and deeper investigation is needed.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help. My website has almost changed to Vietnamese, and a small part may not be translated, so some parts have English text
Once thank you

you should add your personal translation to openedx-translations and rebuild images again
