Would you like Moodle Docs in your language?

Please note that Moodle Docs in an new language needs at least one person willing to take on the responsibility of administrator. The administrator should understand MediaWiki features such as page redirects, categories, templates and disambiguation pages. Please browse this wiki to discover everything!

If you wish to help with Moodle Docs in your language then please contact the Moodle Documentation Steward, Helen Foster.

Things to do:

Core documentation

Create core category pages, with translated page names, using text from the language pack docs files.

Inter-language linking

Add inter-language links by typing [[xx:Corresponding page title in the new language]] in the English MoodleDocs, and [[en:Corresponding page title in English]] in the new language Moodle Docs, at the bottom of the page, below the category link. Inter-language links will appear automatically in the "In other languages" block.

Moodle Docs pages

Translate the following, including page names:

Main Page
Help:Editing
Help:Contents
MoodleDocs:Guidelines for contributors
MoodleDocs:Protected page (please respect protected pages)
Optional: Additional Moodle Docs pages

System messages

Translate the following:

MediaWiki:Loginprompt
MediaWiki:Enotif body (notification email)
MediaWiki:Emailauthenticated

Depending upon the language, certain additional system messages may require translating, for example:

Link pages

Create a set of link pages, leaving the names as file paths and simply adding translated categories.
Move all link pages to provide translated page names.
