==I'd like to help improve an existing language pack. Where do I start?==
{{Moved to dev docs}}
 
Please contact the maintainer of the language pack and ask where you can help. See [[Translation credits]] for a list of translators. The top name of each language pack is the current language pack maintainer. If you don't receive a response within a reasonable time, please email [mailto:translation@moodle.org translation@moodle.org].
 
Another option is to check whether your language has a community discussion course - see http://moodle.org/course/category.php?id=3 - and if so, post in a forum.
 
==I've found an error in a language pack. Who do I contact?==
 
Please contact the language pack maintainer. See [[Translation credits]] for contact details.
 
Another option is to check whether your language has a community discussion course - see http://moodle.org/course/category.php?id=3 - and if so, post in a forum.
 
==I'd like to help with translating Moodle. What do I do?==
 
Firstly, please check the [[dev:Language packs without maintainer|list of language packs without maintainer]]. If your language is listed, contact [mailto:translation@moodle.org translation@moodle.org].
 
Otherwise, please check [[Translation credits]] and contact the maintainer of your language pack to ask where you can help. Once you have agreed on an area of Moodle that you intend to translate, create an account on the [http://lang.moodle.org/ Moodle languages portal] and follow the instructions on the front page.
 
==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.
