Add custom translations to frontend

[Sergey]

Hi everyone,
The existing translation method (django.po and djangojs.po files) does not allow translating some interface elements, such as these.

Is there any other approach that allows to add translations for such elements?

Thanks.

Hi @Sergey! Could you provide a full page screenshot, such that we have a better understanding of where these strings appear?

Indeed @Sergey, these strings are translated in the studio-frontend microfrontend: studio-frontend/displayMessages.jsx at 5680ab8eb6e41852ca54b49c8d5946689c1c6adb · edx/studio-frontend · GitHub

We don’t have a good way to override translation strings in microfrontends at the moment I created a GitHub issue to track the solution to this problem: Overriding translation strings in MFEs is difficult · Issue #20 · overhangio/tutor-mfe · GitHub Fee free to comment there.

Thank you very much for your reply! I found several translations (for example, fr and ar) in the folder with static files, but there are two problems: I found only 5 supported languages at the moment, and there is no Russian among them, and I do not know a good way to add new languages, nor how to update translations for existing languages. So I hope that a solution will be found soon.
