Making AureusERP Multi Language Friendly

The open-source AureusERP system is designed to support multiple languages. This helps global teams use the system in their own language, making it easier to understand and work with.

By offering easy translation options, AureusERP allows users to switch to the language they are most comfortable with. This improves teamwork, reduces mistakes, saves training time, and helps businesses follow local rules.

Why Multi Language Support in ERP Is Important

1. Work with Global Teams Easily
Teams in different countries speak different languages. With multi-language support in ERP like AureusERP, everyone can use the system in their own language. This improves understanding and teamwork

2. Follow Local Laws
Some countries need documents like invoices or tax forms in the local language. AureusERP can create these documents in the right language, helping your business stay legal and efficient.

3. Faster Training and Easy Use
When users see the system in their native language, it’s easier to learn and use. This saves training time and boosts productivity.

How Translation Works in AureusERP

Each AureusERP module (like Sales, Invoices, or Purchases Order) includes its own language files. This modular structure makes ERP translation management simple and scalable.

Key Translation Features

• JSON based translation for speed and clarity
• Modular language folders by plugin/module
• Easily extendable to support any new language

Step-by-Step Guide to Add Multi Language Support in AureusERP

Let’s take the Invoice plugin as an example to show how you can add a new language in AureusERP. In this case, we’ll add support for the Arabic language.

🔹 Step 1: Locate Language Directory

Navigate to the language folder of the Invoice plugin:

plugins/webkul/invoices/resources/lang/

You’ll typically find a default en folder (English).

🔹 Step 2: Create Arabic Language Folder

Create a new folder named ar inside the following path:

plugins/Webkul/invoices/resources/lang/ar

Inside this folder, add PHP files corresponding to each language section (e.g., auto-post-bills.php, invoice-status.php, etc.). Define the translation keys and provide their Arabic equivalents in each file.

🔹 Step 3: Translate Language Strings

Edit the files inside the new ar folder and translate all key value pairs.

Example: auto-post-bills.php

Original (English):

<?php

return [
    'always' => 'Always',
    'ask'    => 'Ask after 3 validations without edits',
    'never'  => 'Never',
];

Translated (Arabic):

<?php

return [
    'always' => 'دائمًا',
    'ask'    => 'اسأل بعد 3 عمليات تحقق بدون تعديلات',
    'never'  => 'أبدًا',
];

Repeat this process for all translation files in the folder.

🔹 Step 4: Set Application Language

Open the .env file in your project root and set the locale:

APP_LOCALE=ar

This activates Arabic across AureusERP’s interface and modules as shown below.

Conclusion

Adding multi-language support in AureusERP is easy and powerful. With just a few steps, you can make the system more user-friendly for teams around the world. By using Arabic as an example, we showed how you can translate modules like Invoices quickly. This helps improve user experience, saves time, and keeps your business ready for global growth.
