# Translation Fixes Summary

## Overview
This document tracks the progress of wrapping untranslated strings with Django's translation functions across all apps.

## Completed Files

### ✅ appointments/views.py
**Status:** Complete  
**Strings Fixed:** 63  
**Changes Made:**
- Added `from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _` import
- Wrapped all success/error/warning messages with `_()`
- Wrapped form titles and submit button text
- Wrapped error titles and messages for patient-facing views
- Wrapped API error messages
- Used proper string formatting with `%` operator for dynamic content

**Examples:**
```python
# Before
messages.success(request, 'Appointment confirmed successfully!')
context['form_title'] = 'Create New Appointment'

# After
messages.success(request, _('Appointment confirmed successfully!'))
context['form_title'] = _('Create New Appointment')
```

## Pending Files

### ⏳ core/views.py
**Estimated Strings:** 105  
**Priority:** High (core functionality)

### ⏳ finance/views.py
**Estimated Strings:** 37  
**Priority:** High (user-facing invoices)

### ⏳ medical/views.py
**Estimated Strings:** 33  
**Priority:** High (clinical documentation)

### ⏳ slp/views.py
**Estimated Strings:** 32  
**Priority:** High (clinical documentation)

### ⏳ aba/views.py
**Estimated Strings:** 18  
**Priority:** High (clinical documentation)

### ⏳ hr/views.py
**Estimated Strings:** 23  
**Priority:** Medium (mostly already translated)

## Translation Patterns Used

### 1. Simple Strings
```python
_('Text to translate')
```

### 2. Strings with Variables (using % formatting)
```python
_('Update Appointment: %(number)s') % {'number': appointment_number}
_('Invalid date format: %(error)s') % {'error': str(e)}
```

### 3. Success Messages with .format()
```python
success_message = _("Appointment created successfully! Number: {appointment_number}")
# Later formatted with:
self.success_message.format(appointment_number=self.object.appointment_number)
```

## Next Steps

1. ✅ Complete appointments/views.py
2. ⏳ Update core/views.py
3. ⏳ Update finance/views.py  
4. ⏳ Update medical/views.py
5. ⏳ Update slp/views.py
6. ⏳ Update aba/views.py
7. ⏳ Update hr/views.py
8. ⏳ Generate Arabic translation files with `python manage.py makemessages -l ar`
9. ⏳ Compile translations with `python manage.py compilemessages`

## Notes

- All CSV export column headers should be translated
- Form titles and submit button text should be translated
- Error messages for both staff and patients should be translated
- API error responses should be translated
- Default values (like 'Patient declined') should be translated
