How do I add a new language to Canvas?

How do I add a new language to Canvas? E.g I want to add 'Hindi' as a language

[simonista]

It's a bit of a process: • Add the language to config/locales/locales.yml. • Copy config/locales/en.yml to config/locales/[NEWLOCALE].yml, and translate all the strings in it. • Ensure a file exists for the locale in public/javascripts/vendor/timezone/. These files come from https://github.com/bigeasy/timezone and one may already exist for the locale being added. If not, create the file. You can use the enUS.js file as a template, then most of the strings in the file can be replaced with values from the YAML file for the locale. If it the filename does not match the language code with s/-//g, then configure bigeasy_locale in locales.yml. • Similarly, ensure a file exists for the locale in public/javascripts/bower/moment/locale/. These files come form Moment.js and one may already exist for the locale being added. If not, create the file. You can use the en-gb.js (en-us is unfortunately implicit) file as a template, then most of the strings in the file can be replaced with values from the YAML file for the locale. If the filename does not match the language code downcased, then configure moment_locale in locales.yml • Ensure existence of corresponding file in public/javascripts/bower/fullcalendar/dist/lang/. If the filename does not match the language code downcast, then configure fullcalendar_locale in locales.yml.

If the datepicker isn't working correctly, one thing to check is whether our date format strings match between translated versions. You can see the different places these are defined here: • public/javascripts/bower/fullcalendar/dist/lang/XX.js • public/javascripts/bower/moment/locale/XX.js • public/javascripts/vendor/timezone/XX.js • config/locales/XX.yml

one other thing, we don’t load all the languages in development mode by default, so to get that to work you need to add an environment variable:

• $ rake i18n:generate_js
• $ RAILS_LOAD_ALL_LOCALES=true USE_OPTIMIZED_JS=true yarn run webpack
• $ RAILS_LOAD_ALL_LOCALES=true bundle exec rails server

Hope that helps! Simon

Thanks, Simon. This helps a lot!

Dear Simon,

I passed your guide to my technician to add my language but fail. I visited website https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/tree/master/config/locales and revise 2 files then send to my technician to add my language but fail. See attached my language files. file vi.yml: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NicbaQB2jyLq4MNyjVwPGiIOUVQe8wxN/view?usp=sharing File locales: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NicbaQB2jyLq4MNyjVwPGiIOUVQe8wxN/view?usp=sharing

See below technician's comment

"Unfortunately I can't add your language to the Canvas LMS. Where is a lot of errors with YAML syntax in the file, for example "(): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line." I tried to correct it, but that wasn't work. The guide what you sent to us (https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/issues/1314) was posted there in 2018, after that there were many updates and for now it's not working. You can create the new topic in Canvas LMS GitHub and ask developers to help you add your language"

Do you have update guide or can you help me to add my Vietnamese language to my Canvas. I can pay service charge. Best regards, David ADT International JSC Email: david@adtgroup.net Skype: david.le.adt; Mobile/Whatapp/Zalo/Vibre/Imo: +84.986354152

Mình làm dự án opensource cho các trường thôi, bạn đã chỉnh được chưa?

[lekhachiep-ADT]

Làm cái ngôn ngữ tiếng Việt này lằng nhằng thật. Cũng đang mò đây

[GTMtremolo]

you need to create a file vi-VN.yml in path/to/canvas/config/locales/ (can get the template from en.yml) After that add Vietnamese config to path/to/canvas/config/locales/locales.yml (can get them to template config on this file) And then, recompile access and restart the apache server. It work for me. Thanks

[lekhachiep-ADT]
