Translating User tours from Moodle.net

You can easily translate the User tours from Moodle.net, following these steps:

• You must first install the User Tours additional plugin. See the User Tours Documentation.
  • After you install the plugin, you will see 'User tours' in ' Administration ► Site administration ► Appearance ► User tours '

• Obviously, there will be no user tours to display initially:

• Click on the ' Tour repository ' link. You will see several pages with many available user tours in different languages, for various Moodle branches:

• Click on the one you want to translate
• Check the details and click on the orange-coloured link to download the *.json file:

• Take a note of where the downloaded file was saved.
• Go back to ' Administration ► Site administration ► Appearance ► User tours '
• Click on the ' Import tour ' link:

• Drag and drop the *.json file and click on the ' Save changes ' button.
• You wil then see all the steps of your newly imported tour:

• You can now edit the steps of the user tour in order to translate it into your language.
  • Note in the following screen image that some strings inside a blue rectangle already appear as translated; that is because those language strings are part your language pack and had been properly translated at AMOS. Otherwise, please contact your language pack maintainer.
  • The string you can now translate is the one enclosed in a green rectangle:

• Edit the remainding steps, one at a time, replacing the English language strings with your translation.
• Check that your edited (translated) file works as intended.
• Export the tour.
• The exported file is your translation.
• Submit it to the Moodle.net user tours database.
• Please translate the User Tools Moodle documentation too.
