==Language editing in Moodle 1.5== | |||
Text in Moodle 1.5 may be changed by editing the language strings, either via ''Administration > Configuration > Language'' or directly e.g. in ''lang/en''. | |||
To ensure that any changes are not overwritten by a new version when upgrading, you need to create your own local language pack as follows: | |||
* Copy the contents of your language folder (e.g. ''lang/en'') into a new folder (e.g. ''lang/en_local'') - you will need access to the server to achieve this step, it cannot be done from within Moodle. | |||
* Make your local language pack the default for the site via ''Administration > Configuration > Variables''. | |||

Double brackets
It seems to me there should be a mention somewhere of why sometimes you might see double brackets [[like this]], but I'm not quite sure what the most appropriate place might be.--N Hansen 10:48, 9 February 2006 (WST)
- Yes, you're right. The information could also be added to Administration FAQ. --Helen Foster 17:10, 6 July 2006 (WST)
Ability to edit language files in non-standard locations
TODO: Ability to edit language files in non-standard locations... Yes, that would be nice, since more and more 3rd-party modules carry their own language files in their folders, and the translation system does not yet apply to them.
Correct paths?
"# From Moodle 1.9 onwards, only users with the capability moodle/site:langeditmaster may modify the master language packages (i.e. those being saved in moodledata/lang/). It is prevented from all roles by default. It is expected that only language maintainers will manually allow this to themselves.
- From Moodle 1.9 onwards, only users with the capability moodle/site:langeditlocal may customize the site translation (i.e. files being saved in moodledata/lang_local/)."
I've just tried this out on a test 1.9 install. Should the reference to "moodledata/lang" be "moodle/lang"?
No Ray. It's correct. Since 1.6, all languages except en_utf8, moved to the moodledata folder. This makes it possible to edit them and and download new versions through Moodle without running into problems with security settings.

Language editing in Moodle 1.5
Text in Moodle 1.5 may be changed by editing the language strings, either via Administration > Configuration > Language or directly e.g. in lang/en.
To ensure that any changes are not overwritten by a new version when upgrading, you need to create your own local language pack as follows:
- Copy the contents of your language folder (e.g. lang/en) into a new folder (e.g. lang/en_local) - you will need access to the server to achieve this step, it cannot be done from within Moodle.
- Make your local language pack the default for the site via Administration > Configuration > Variables.
