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:

# 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

Estimated Strings: 105
Priority: High (core functionality)

Estimated Strings: 37
Priority: High (user-facing invoices)

⏳ medical/views.py

Priority: High (clinical documentation)

⏳ aba/views.py

⏳ hr/views.py

Translation Patterns Used

1. Simple Strings

_('Text to translate')

2. Strings with Variables (using % formatting)

_('Update Appointment: %(number)s') % {'number': appointment_number}
_('Invalid date format: %(error)s') % {'error': str(e)}

3. Success Messages with .format()

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