Changing the language of the web dashboard

[pouriiia]

Hello, I wanted to translate the web dashboard into several languages, is it possible?
If it is possible, please guide me how to access the texts and user interface of the web dashboard

We have the same question as well. Is there a way to set another language associated with the dashboard and enrich any language files it uses?

Hi @pouriiia and @Santiago-Lorenzo,

First of all, thanks for getting in touch with us.

Translating the web dashboard into another language presents a challenge, as all text is currently hard-coded in the source code. We acknowledge the application's absence of internationalization features. It appears that the initial design of the app did not account for this aspect. Addressing this is scheduled for the upcoming major update.

Additionally, it's important to consider more than just the app itself. A significant portion of the text displayed in the app originates from the Wazuh API, which is in turn the outcome of scans conducted by Wazuh on the endpoints (agents). This data is produced and preserved in English, so despite the app's language settings being adjustable, this data will remain in English, leading to increased inconsistency. Only elements like menus, buttons, and titles will be subject to translation.

Additionally, the OpenSearch-Dashboards version 2.18.0 will include the i18n feature: https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/blob/main/release-notes/opensearch-dashboards.release-notes-2.18.0.md#version-2180-release-note

Thank you for your interest in Wazuh.

Best regards,
Guido
