OpenSearch Dashboards Reporting Plugin
1

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):
OS: V2.3, OSD V 2.3, Docker, Chrome Version 106.0.5249.119

Describe the issue:
Does Dashboards support multiple languages via user selection or by locales?
I found this reference to the topic on git: [i18n] Internationalization · Issue #943 · opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards · GitHub

Honestly, I have not idea what to do with it.
I am trying get the dashboards in show in another language (French). Is there a file a provide with my desired translations? Never had to deal with multi-lingual before.

Configuration:
Docker image V 2.3

Yes. Currently, we have a plugin (i18n plugin) to support multiple languages. Here is some instructions: i18n-plugin/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md at main · opensearch-project/i18n-plugin · GitHub

So for French, it should be i18n.locale: "fr" . All the supported locales are here OpenSearch-Dashboards/locales.js at main · opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards · GitHub .

If your language is not currently supported, you are very welcome to create an issue and PR to contribute. Here is a reference:

Hello!

I would like to install the dashboards-i18n plugin but I don’t know how to install it :

I tried :

bin\opensearch-dashboards-plugin.bat install dashboards-i18n

But it doesn’t work :

Attempting to transfer from dashboards-i18n

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error “No valid url specified.”

Do you know how to install the plugin?

Best regards,

@vincent2mots I don’t think there is an artifact for dashbaords-i18n plugin.
Try following Developer Guide.

Hi @pablo !

I was finally able to create a new fr-FR.json translation file, based on another one and it works fine!

Thanks a lot!

Hello @vincent2mots, may I ask how you managed to get the i18n plugin working, please?
What steps did you follow, and were you using OpenSearch inside Docker or installed natively?

In my case, I’m running OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboard nodes inside Docker, and I’m trying to use i18n to translate into French.

Best regards,
