I would like to know how to translate the descriptions and tittles in CKAN.
I have been looking at an example in:
https://opendata.swiss/ and the code in https://github.com/opendata-swiss/ckanext-switzerland
and
https://opentransportdata.swiss
in the extension I see the files for every language:
https://github.com/opendata-swiss/ckanext-switzerland/tree/master/ckanext/switzerland/i18n
but I can't see the text for every dataset in several languages.
For instance:
https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset/bahnhofsliste-station-list
I think the name of this dataset was created in german, but we get the text in english too.
So the question is:
Where is defined the text for dataset description???
Thanks
This can be achieved using the multilingual extension.
If you take a closer look at the metadata of the example dataset you cited then you'll see that the relevant fields (e.g.
description) are provided for multiple languages.The
*.pofiles in thei18ndirectory are for translating the static parts of the user interface, they are not used for strings that vary from one dataset to another.
