I'd like to help with translating Moodle. What do I do?
Firstly, please check the list of language packs without maintainer. If your language is listed, contact translation@moodle.org.
Otherwise, please check Translation credits and contact the maintainer of your language pack to ask where you can help. The name at the top of the list for each language is the current language pack maintainer. If you don't receive a response within a reasonable time, contact translation@moodle.org. Once you have agreed on an area of Moodle that you intend to translate, create an account on the Moodle languages portal and follow the instructions on the front page.
I've found an error in a language pack. Who do I contact?
Please contact the language pack maintainer. See Translation credits for contact details.
Another option is to check whether your language has a community discussion course - see http://moodle.org/course/category.php?id=3 - and if so, post in a forum.
The month names and days are displayed in English. How can I translate them?
Names of days and months are pulled out of your operating system. The system is configured for Moodle in langconfig.php where you have the strings locale (for -nix type operating systems) and localewin (for Windows operating systems) that should point to the right locale on your server. Your server operating system should support the language (= locale should be installed) - see also Month-name translation problem for an alternative solution.
