Hello, community. I upgrade smart desktop from 6.3 to 7.5.6 with the same data model. Now and when an observation of a patrol is reviewed, this error appears.

Hi Jorge,
It turns out this is a bug in the Spanish translation file – the data type is getting translated in a way that causes this problem. A fix for this issue is in progress.

In the meantime, can you confirm that this problem doesn’t occur when running SMART in English?

Hi Matt:

Sorry for the late reply but I was out of the office. I did the test with the same data model but with a smart desktop in English. I imported 2 test patrols using the number attribute and it did not throw the error.
The word “number” is in several attributes of the data model, I have tried all of them using desktop in English and the error message does not appear.

What is the best way to change language of desktop to default language (English)

@jval Is your operating system in English? If yes, it should default to English. If not, you can overwrite the language in the smart ini file. You need to have the language pack installed and if it’s not showing, then you need to go into the SMART.ini file, and then paste in the following after the last line at the end, copy/paste (exactly):
“-Duser.language=ru”

In this case, (ru = russian
) but you would put in whichever was relevant. Pretty sure English is “en”

Excellent. Thank you Jorge. We will let you know when the update is available to fix this issue.

I have been having this issue with CAs in Honduras. I thought it was something to do with the time/date formatting in the ‘last updated’ observation field. I’m glad to hear that you are working on it.

Hello Jorge and Simon,
Have you been able to upgrade to SMART 7.5.7 and confirm that this is no longer an issue for you?

Thank you,
Matt

Hi Matt:

Sorry for the delay in responding to this message. I am still using desktop version 7.5.6. I am waiting for the server migration to version 7.5.7 to update

I handled the same issue since Nov 2023. Now I am using version 7.5.7 with the same error.
Since this is an “unknown format type: number” format error, I suspect the translation error could be “spelling” since numeror should be nĂșmero and could be in the “DATA MODEL” schema.
Please, let us know if the issue can be solved, meanwhile, trying with the English Version.

Hi Adolfo,

I will report that the error is still occurring in 7.5.7 and hope to provide an update soon.

Cheers,

Alex
