Language editing: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:46, 1 February 2006

Text in Moodle 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 langconfig.php of your language folder (e.g. datafolder/lang/en) into a new folder (e.g. datafolder/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
