Feat: Persian language support added

[CodeWithEmad]

Hello edx Since the beginning of my acquaintance with the edx platform, I always wondered, why t doesn't support Farsi. well, I'm glad to announce that we translated the Persian language (fa_IR) in Transifex. right now both translated and reviewed statuses are at 100%.

I wanted to add .po and .mo files to the PR but noticed that Jenkins CI is responsible for that. is there anything else I need to add?

Thanks for this contribution, @CodeWithEmad ! I don't know much about how the translation system works so I can't be your reviewer here, but I did have a question for you: Were you able to get this working locally, by manually updating the po/mo files? And if so, can you attach some screenshots?

[CodeWithEmad]

Hi @bradenmacdonald. sorry for the late response. Yes, I did actually. to add translations for a new language we only have to add .po and .mo files to the /openedx/locale/user/locale/ and build a new openedx image. I'm using tutor to run openedx and in tutor, first we put translations in $(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/locale and tutor will copy them to /openedx/locale/user/locale/. adding a new DarkLangConfig (something like en,fa_ir will add English and Persian(Farsi) Language to the openedx. LMS: CMS: feel free to ask more on this matter.

I'll be more than happy to add .po and .mo files, if any CI apo is not responsible for that

@bradenmacdonald also, I've ceated a PR for adding Persian Translations to some of the MFEs (Account, Profile, Learning, and Gradebook) but so long, no one reached to review/add/fix the PR. by any chance, do you know anyone related to MFE repositories?

[bradenmacdonald]

@CodeWithEmad Thanks. I asked a couple people about your MFE PRs.

[CodeWithEmad]

I appreciate it man.

@Carlos-Muniz @ghassanmas would either of you be appropriate reviewers for this?

[ghassanmas]

I am not sure about this change, probably @Carlos-Muniz would know better. It seems to be that the uncommented language in the conf/locale/config.yaml would let the Jenkis/transifex bot to pull it from transifex. The thing is I can't be sure because I don't know where the bot code is, on the other hand, Carlos work with openedx/open-edx-proposals/pull/367 might alter the de-facto process/workflow which uses conf/locale/config.yaml.

@CodeWithEmad @Carlos-Muniz hi there! Just checking in on this to see if tests should be re-run to get the PR through?

[mphilbrick211]

@Carlos-Muniz just making sure this is ready to merge?

[Carlos-Muniz]

@mphilbrick211 Yes. It is ready to merge.
