I tried to debug it but nothig worked out yet

Hi @Alpha
Post which commands you're using for building Metabase.
Have you build the translations? ./bin/i18n/build-translation-resources

#3

I did ./bin/i18n/build-translation-resources and then I did lein run
Btw it has problem only with norwegian and persian
if building translations was the issue, no other langs should have work right?

#4

@Alpha Something else must be wrong, but it's hard to tell. Does it only happen with lein run or also in a built JAR? I would guess it's something in your setup.

#5

Also I tried with 200MB jar file that I downloaded from https://metabase.com/start/jar.html
It has same error too

#6

I was debugging the code, so far i figured out that the problem was created by this code block in src/metabase/util/i18n/impl.clj

so I hardcoded it to true, then my language changed to persian successfully!
But the problem is some of translations aren't displayed correctly, seems like a unicode problem
Now website looks like this:

I emphasize again, like what you see in the picture only some translations don't display correctly

After lot's of digging, I ended up here:

seems like java didn't return "fa" as a available locale

#7

I see, The problem was from my environment, I was using Oracle JDK v8
After I migrated to AdoptJdk 11, it fixed.
But still that unicode problem stays:

@Alpha
That looks like a font problem in your browser/OS.

@Alpha I don't know what is wrong, but it's something in your environment.
