LANGUAGE_CODE not reflecting in theme

[Yago (Santiago Bernabé García)]

Hello

I have an issue with language translations. I have defined ‘es-es’ as the LANGUAGE_CODE in tutor’s config.yml file, but the translations on Django’s settings do not affect to the themes (see screenshot below). I am currently working on updating a tutor 16.1.5 instance to tutor 18.2.2, I have to say that this configuration worked perfectly in version 16.1.5.

Any help is appreciated
Regards

Hi @Yago ,

I faced the same issue. I think it’s because the text is hardcoded in the Indigo theme, so you have to change it manually in the files.

Similar problem with MFE. I tried to change the language to Spanish 419 or es-es but some words are always displayed in English.

Please let me know if you make any progress with this. I’ll do the same.

good luck,
rax

Hi @rax

I’ve finaly found a workaround into this issue, but there were 2 changes needed:

• First I needed to change edx-platform code to use settings LANGUAGE_CODE instead of “en” by default when there is no language cookie. There’s a discuss post on this fact Language Configuration Issue on Authn MFE Page - Site Operators - Open edX discussions
• Then I needed to change my MFE to integrate the new ATLAS language processes, so I needed to fork openedx-language to add some custom strings and setup ATLAS_REVISION and ATLAS_REPOSITORY (if you don’t have customized strings I believe you won’t need this change)

Hope this help you to find the solution to your issue

Good luck!
