Edit strings
Template:Moodle 1.6 Text in Moodle may be changed by editing the language strings, either via Administration >> Configuration >> Language or directly e.g. in datafolder/lang/en.
Local language pack
Template:Moodle 1.6 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.
- Add a string for parentlanguage to this file, which points to the language which is the most similar to yours.
- Make your local language pack the default for the site via Administration >> Configuration >> Variables.
- Edit only those strings you want to change with the built-in language editor, to be found in Administration >> Configuration >> Language.
