==I'd like to help with translating Moodle. What do I do?==
 
Please see [[Translation]] for details of how you can help.
 
==I've found an error in a language pack. Who do I contact?==
 
Please contact the language pack maintainer. See the [[:dev:Translation credits|Translation credits]] for contact details.
 
==The month names and days are displayed in English. How can I translate them?==
 
Names of days and months are pulled out of your operating system. The system is configured for Moodle in langconfig.php where you have the strings ''locale'' (for -nix type operating systems) and ''localewin'' (for Windows operating systems) that should point to the right locale on your server. Your server operating system should support the language (= locale should be installed) - see also [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=79792 Month-name translation problem] for an alternative solution.
 
==I'm starting a new language pack or i'm contributing to one. Can I do the user interface strings first?==
 
No, there is no way to know which strings will be shown for users and which not. But to help you a little bit, there are some unofficial priorities you can take into account.
 
First:
* make sure [[dev:Translation_langconfig|langconfig]] is properly set up.
* take a look at [[Translation priority]]. All files have a rating according to how urgent they need translating.
* less urgent are also the contributed plugins, since they are not part of a standard Moodle distribution.
 
==I've found an error in the English language pack. How do I report it?==
 
See the section 'Suggesting improvements to English language strings' in [[AMOS]] for details of what to do.
 
==How many words are there in the English language pack?==
 
See the discussion [http://lang.moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3651 How many words are there in the English language pack?].
