There is no "Current Assets" (Google Translated الأصول الحالية) string in the official language template empty.po.

Re: How can i update my Arabic Language

The only Arabic translation in FA for now is the Egyptian version - ar_EG.

Unless the original string is in the empty.po, it is not referred to in the FA codebase.
empty.po should not be ordinarily edited.
A copy of the empty.po is taken and translated for each language.
If you are making a new module, then keep the language files for it in it's codebase and not in the FA core.

Re: How can i update my Arabic Language

Making translation changes to the .po file and then compiling the official FA strings into a .mo file and replacing them in the FA language folder will make the changes visible possibly after a restart of the webserver.

Have a look at the compiled versions in the FA24extensions repo for ar_EG.

Re: How can i update my Arabic Language

Yes, I am using the latest version which was found from your repo, version 2.4.3-1

Furthermore, see the screenshot which I want to translate link is

Better is I want to update the files ar_EG-2.4.3-1.po and then this file is converted into ar_EG-2.4.3-1.mo and changes do not take effect and no changes occur.

Re: How can i update my Arabic Language

All strings in your screenshot are already there in the po file and hence in the mo file. The official repo provides ar_EG v2.4.1-3 but my repo provides ar_EG v2.4.3-1. This will need to be changed in the lang/installed_languages.inc file as well if manually updated.

See attachment for all strings properly translated.

The ar_EG language is part of the Transifex translations from where one can take the latest translations.

Re: How can i update my Arabic Language

Try hard refresh for few times. While refreshing if you see those words are translated and after next refresh it disappears. You should recompile the Mo file again before that validate the po file for errors . If you see errors or warnings. Just fix them and translate it.

Even after several Refresh, you didn't see the translation then the problem is in the FA gettext function . _("Inventory")

Sometimes those words in po file may be commented like # infront of the msgstr or msgid. Check them carefully.

Re: How can i update my Arabic Language

Hello @emiangel839 I just finished updating my arabic language using following steps. You also try them

1. Download POEdit
2. Add your Msg Strings like one below in PO file

msgid "Cost Centers"
msgstr "مراكز التكلفة"

3. Open PO file using this application
4. Validate your PO file
5. Compile PO file in MO file
6. Upload both files to the cloud server
7. Restart your Web Server (Apache).
8. Logout and then Login FA.

Note: If you are using a shared hosting then you won't be able to restart apache.
