You can easily translate the User tours from Moodle.net, but you will need to follow these steps:

  • 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.
