Hello everyone. I have installed Tutor and now I want to configure in my native language. I am from Romania but I didn’t find any folder for romanian language in https://github.com/openedx/openedx-i18n/tree/master/edx-platform/locale neither in https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/tree/open-release/juniper.3/conf/locale. What do you advise me to do?
Hi @adrian! Only 39.5% of Open edX strings are translated to Romanian in Transifex: https://www.transifex.com/open-edx/edx-platform/ In openedx-i18n we only include languages for which at least 50% of strings are translated. Do you think you could contribute to Transifex to increase this ratio? If yes, we could add the Romanian locale to openedx-i18n

Hi @regis now we are over 50% in romanian on transifex. Can you add please the locale to openedx-i18n?
congratulations! This is very impressive.
You will need to get your translations in the “reviewed” state in order to have them pulled by the i18n_tool application. I swear this is not me acting as an evil gatekeeper… The tx pull command is hard-coded to pull only reviewed translations (see source code).
I guess we could use a hack to manually pull non-reviewed strings for the Romanian language, but I’m not sure we want to do that – generally speaking it’s good to have two pairs of eyes to look at changes in Open edX.
Do you know how to get in touch with the reviewers for the Romanian language? Their names are listed here.
In the mean time, I don’t want to prevent you from running Open edX in Romanian, so what I’ll do is that I’ll add the language in the openedx-i18n repo (and in Tutor). However, the next Open edX release (Koa) is scheduled for next week, so I don’t want to push new languages to the Juniper branch. Is it ok if the language is only available in Koa?
EDIT: When pulling ro strings in openedx-i18n I’m getting the following error message for some files: Skipping language ro due to used options. I’m afraid this is because the threshold of 3% reviewed translations is not reached for these files 
Fixed now. We have reviewed above 50%. Can you please try again?
And after that I can get the translation after I will update tutor for Koa version right?
I’m getting the following problems compiling translations. Can you please fix those? Otherwise I can’t bundle them. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lukvn01ebvx9ril/ro-prob.zip?dl=0
I think I have fixed them now. I don’t know where I can verify
Normally, you would simply have to checkout the openedx-i18n repo and run make all. Here it’s slightly more complicated because Romanian is not included in the package, yet. You have to uncomment the “- ro” line in edx-platform/locale/config-extra.yaml. Then run:
mkdir -p ./edx-platform/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/
And finally run:
make all
There is one error left:
ro/LC_MESSAGES/django-partial.po:7352: a format specification for argument 'user' doesn't exist in 'msgstr'Can you try again now?
I’m getting the following errors:

(these errors are a constant hassle and I wish there were a validation tool integrated with transifex)
(EDIT: oh wait I think there is one! https://www.transifex.com/open-edx/edx-platform/viewstrings/#ro/mako?q=check%3Aerror TIL)
The transifex validation tool doesn’t show me any errors. I fixed the last one too. I hope now it works
There is still an error: https://www.transifex.com/open-edx/edx-platform/viewstrings/#ro/mako/143676138?q=text%3A’All+names%2C+logos+and+seals’
There remains an instance of { platform_name} instead of {platform_name}.
fixed and this. I have a feeling that I will owe you more than one beer
No worries 
I am updating the docker.io:overhangio/openedx:11.0.1 Docker image to include the Romanian translations, so you should just pull this image to get the new locale. The image should be ready in a couple minutes: https://hub.docker.com/r/overhangio/openedx/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated
Thank you. You are doing a great job with tutor and forum. But firstly I have to update to last version to get te translation no? Like you said in the previous comments:
However, the next Open edX release (Koa) is scheduled for next week, so I don’t want to push new languages to the Juniper branch. Is it ok if the language is only available in Koa
Yes, if you upgrade to the latest release (v11.0.2) you will get the new translations automatically.
I am receiving an error when I am trying to upgrade from ironwood to Koa. I just run tutor local upgrade --from=ironwood but it seems that doesn’t work
Later edit: it’s down. I think I need to reinstall tutor again
You should never have to re-install tutor. This is a weird habit. Instead, just run tutor local quickstart and see what happens.

Thank you. It works perfectly. You saved me from a lot of pain. Every time I had a similar issue I have reinstalled the platform. I will run upgrade again
I am facing the same error again at upgrade
tutor local upgrade --from=ironwood
You are about to upgrade your Open edX platform. It is strongly recommended to make a backup before upgrading. To do so, run:
tutor local stop
sudo rsync -avr "$(tutor config printroot)"/ /tmp/tutor-backup/
In case of problem, to restore your backup you will then have to run: sudo rsync -avr /tmp/tutor-backup/ "$(tutor config printroot)"/
Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/n] y
