Language pack maintaining
From MoodleDocs
How you can help
- If your mother tongue has not been translated, you can create and maintain a new language pack.
- If nobody keeps up to date the language pack of your mother tongue, you can offer to maintain it.
- If you want to adapt words in Moodle to suit special situations (eg a commercial or young children's Moodle site) you can create and maintain a new language pack.
NOTE: If you just want to help with translating some words and phrases, please see Help translate Moodle
Email Koen and any current maintainers
- If you would like to volunteer to become a new language pack maintainer, or if your language doesn't have a maintainer (see the list of language packs without maintainers) email our translation co-ordinator, Koen, translation@moodle.org.
- If your language has a maintainer and you'd like to help them, check the Translation credits and contact the maintainer of your language pack to ask where you can help. The name at the top of the list for each language is the current language pack maintainer. (If you don't receive a response within a reasonable time, email Koen translation@moodle.org.)
Make an account on the translation site
Moodle has a special site for submitting translations. Go to the Moodle translation site and create an account, making sure you include your full name and email. Koen will give you the appropriate privileges for maintaining the language pack of your choice.
Access AMOS
- AMOS is Moodle's special translation tool which works the magic to send translations out to language packs.
- Click the AMOS link in the Navigation block or one of the two images in the screenshot below.
- You will then see on the screen the privileges you have in AMOS (to 'commit the staged strings into the main repository', meaning you can send translations to the language packs that go out to Moodle sites.)
