Xhosa Language Pack not working #3500

ruancilliers · 2015-04-10T15:14:07Z

Dear Khan Lite,

The Xhosa Language packs are not working. Please see the attached screen shots...

branch:master
Note this is the latest update available ( I updated the Khan server yesterday - 8 April 2015)

Screen Shot 1 - Firstly, after I downloaded the Xhosa language pack, I don't have the tree available to see which video's I still need.

I then had to copy the Xhosa Videos into the content directory manually and re-install the Khan Server, otherwise I could not see the Xhosa dubbed video's (See screenshot 2). Is there a better way to do this than re-installing the whole server after I copied the Xhosa video's into the content directory.

Screen Shot 2 - After the re-installation I can see the video's that I added into the Content directory (In this case the Basic Addition Xhosa Video)

Screen Shot 3 - After selecting the Xhosa dubbed video "xh", I still get the English version as you can see in Screen shot 4.

Screen Shot 4 - Even is I try to change back to Xhosa, the English version is still automatically selected and played.

So the two questions is (1) How do I download the Xhosa Video list and update the display list after I copied all the Xhosa Videos into the Content Directory and (2) How do I play the Xhosa version, once it sows as is the screen shots below?

Looking forward to hear from you!
Ruan

Downloaded Xhosa. Can replicate on 0.12.

ruancilliers · 2015-04-14T19:20:07Z

Dear Aron,

Do you mean you could replicate this problem, or do you mean that you downloaded the Xhosa package and it worked on your side? Is there any other steps that you need from my side or could you replicate the problem successfully? If not, I'm happy that you log into my server with teamviewer or a similar program so that you can see what the issue is.

Thank you for your support. We are really excited to have the Xhosa video's for our Village...

@ruancilliers not working on my side. Just to confirm, I've checked the crowdin projects for both ka-lite and khanacademy, and they both don't have translations. So I'm focusing my debugging solely on the dubbed videos.

Moving forward, I noticed that loading the topic tree for Xhosa (http://127.0.0.1:8008/api/videos/topic_tree?lang=xh) returns None, which gets converted to the JSON null value. I'll be debugging why that happens.

aronasorman · 2015-04-15T19:51:04Z

@ruancilliers can you check that URL and see if that returns null for your installation too?

aronasorman · 2015-04-15T19:53:11Z

Oh and also, there's no basic addition mapping for Xhosa: https://docs.google.com/a/learningequality.org/spreadsheets/d/1k5xh2UXV3EchRHnYzeP6-YGKrmba22vsltGSuU9bL88/edit#gid=0

Which means your example won't work. To make basic addition work, you have to request KA to update their dubbed video mapping (the spreadsheet linked above.)

ruancilliers · 2015-04-15T20:33:01Z

Dear Aron,

Just to confirm, yes I only look at dubbed video's so you are on the right track. I did check the link in the spreadsheet and I could find the mapping for the Xhosa video for basic addition. So I'm not sure why you say you can't find it. Search for the string OCCY8Hk7_dQ in the document. This is the basic addition Xhosa dubbed video. Also you will find it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCY8Hk7_dQ
In the shared document that you send, this is on line 274 on excel which looks like this...
271 02-01-2012 02-20-2011 Basic addition cc-by-nc-sa Math Arithmetic Addition and subtraction Intro to addition and subtraction basic-addition (Xhosa Dubbed Column - OCCY8Hk7_dQ)

Am I understanding this correctly?

Thank you for you support,
Ruan

ruancilliers · 2015-04-16T17:30:36Z

Dear Aron,

Just to confirm, I do get a null value return when I type in the url as you requested. See the attached screen shot...

Let me know if you need anything else from me.
Great!
Ruan

ruancilliers · 2015-04-21T19:12:02Z

Hi Aron,

Just to let you know, I managed to get all of the dubbed video links to display... I just had to copy the video's into the content folder and the xhosa dubbed links automatically appeared. Still all of the xhosa links plays the english version. So I guess with the next update all of the dubbed Xhosa links should work?

Thank you for your assistance and let me know if you need any other information.

Enjoy your day,
Ruan

aronasorman · 2015-04-21T19:15:12Z

Oh, strange. Sorry for not responding @ruancilliers, I'm still trying to figure out why it's returning a null value. I'll keep working on this to find the root cause, and hopefully have a fix for the 0.13 line.

ruancilliers · 2015-04-21T19:20:22Z

Fantastic! Thank you for your time Aron. Let me know if you need any other analysis to be done from my side. If you need logs etc. let me know... Chat then soon!

aronasorman · 2015-04-21T21:06:54Z

Testing on 0.13: Not working on Xhosa.. Tested French, working perfectly.

ruancilliers · 2015-04-21T21:09:22Z

Hi Aron,

Can I supply you with logs to help find the bug? Please let me know how I
can assist. Thank you so much for your time and effort on this bug. I will
help in any way that I can...

@ruancilliers thanks. I'm getting these files when downloading Xhosa videos:

Notice that it's putting the videos in the root dir and concatenated with content rather than putting them in the content dir. I wonder if that's the reason why it's still playing english videos? Is it the same in your case @ruancilliers?

ruancilliers · 2015-04-21T21:40:41Z

Hi Aron,

This could most probably be the issue... Unfortunately I don't have the
option of downloading Xhosa Video's. See the attachment. How do I check
which version I'm on to make sure I'm on the latest version?

Thank you,
Ruan

The installation you're running on your screenshots is the 0.12.x line. To know the precise version, look inside kalite/version.py.

Also, we just released the release candidate for this upcoming version of KA Lite, 0.13.0. If you wanna test it out, you can download the windows installer from here.

aronasorman · 2015-04-21T21:44:56Z

Also, the above might be an issue with 0.13.x too. I'll try fixing it today-tomorrow and see if we can get it in for 0.13.

ruancilliers · 2015-04-21T22:14:22Z

Great Aron,

Thank you for your help. I hope you can get the bug fix before you release
the 0.13 line...

Really appreciate your help. Let me know when you have fixed it and I will
test the candidate version on my side...

(In South Africa it is 00:15am now, so I will continue the support tomorrow)
Great!

It's working now, I've successfully played a foreign language video (that I presume is Xhosa). Will push a fix.

ruancilliers · 2015-04-21T23:09:13Z

That is FANTASTIC news! Thank you so much Aron!

Fixes #3500. Before, we just concatenated them by strings. This fails when the content dir passed in doesn't have a trailing slash ('/content') which happens some of the time. Now, we use the smarts in os.path.join to handle the concatenating for us. This bug doesn't appear often (as we often pass 'content/', with trailing slash), but something with Xhosa triggers content to be passed without the trailing slash, hence failing to place videos on the right directory.

aronasorman · 2015-04-21T23:58:48Z

Nice, github has a feature where this will auto-close when 0.13 gets merged to master :)

ruancilliers · 2015-04-22T06:13:10Z

Thank you Aron, by when will 0.13 be merged to the master, so that I can do
an update on our server? Is there a prospective date yet?

The merge date is scheduled this Monday, April 27. Although you can pull it now and download the latest videos by running:

git clone https://github.com/learningequality/ka-lite.git --depth 1 --branch v0.13.x

on a different directory.

And then copy over the database to that new copy of KA Lite and see if it fixes Xhosa language packs for you.
