MoodleDocs links
Moodle 1.6 will have a button in the header that links to pages in MoodleDocs with the same path as the pages in Moodle e.g. the Forums index page will link to mod/forum/index.
MoodleDocs in other languages
- Moodle documentation is required in every language!
- MoodleDocs in other languages will enable many people to be involved in creating documentation, rather than just a select few.
- Each version will contain the language code in the URL e.g. docs.moodle.org/es/..., docs.moodle.org/de/... etc.
- Moodle help files will remain in each language pack for those using Moodle locally without an Internet connection.
- All documentation contributions should be encouraged, including creating new pages i.e. contributors should not be restricted to only translating English pages.
- Essential documentation should be decided upon and assigned to a core category. All these pages should be translated.
- Core category pages should have interlanguage links.
- Translation will be multi-directional i.e. not just translation from English into other languages (e.g. a Spanish developer writes documentation in Spanish which is then translated into other languages).
- MediaWiki page titles are the same as the last part of the URL, however these may be translated by moving the page and so creating a redirect e.g. docs.moodle.org/nl/Metacourses moved to docs.moodle.org/nl/Koepelcursus.
- Useful language links:
- Wikipedia:Interlanguage links
- Meta:Conventions for multilingualism
- Help:Interwiki linking
- Mozilla Developer Center - an example of documentation in other languages
