| Great! :-) Please check the [[dev:Language packs without maintainer|list of language packs without maintainer]]. If your language is listed, and you'd like to volunteer to become language pack maintainer, contact [mailto:translation@moodle.org translation@moodle.org]. | | Great! :-) All translation of Moodle LMS and the plugins happens on our '''[http://lang.moodle.org Moodle translation site]''', so you'll need to start by creating an account there. |
| | |
| Otherwise, check [[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. 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. (If you don't receive a response within a reasonable time, contact [mailto:translation@moodle.org translation@moodle.org].)

| == Structure of a Moodle language pack ==
| |
| | |
| Note: This page describes the translation process for Moodle 2.0 onwards. For details of the translation process in versions of Moodle prior to 2.0, see [https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Translation Translation pre-2.0].
| |
| | |
| The standard Moodle distribution comes with English language pack only. All other languages must be added to your installation. The English strings for Moodle core (that is the main subsystems like administration, gradebook, roles etc) can be found in ''lang/en/'' folder of your Moodle installation. For example, grading related strings are defined in ''lang/en/grades.php''. All other Moodle components (like activity modules, blocks, enrolment plugins etc) define their own strings in ''lang/en/'' folder within the plugin directory. For example, Workshop module defines its strings in ''mod/workshop/lang/en/workshop.php''.
| |
|
| |
|
| Translations are located in your ''moodledata'' directory, in folder ''lang/xx/''. Translations of all the components - both core and plugins - are stored there. For example, the Czech translation of the Workshop module is stored in ''moodledata/lang/cs/workshop.php'' and grade-related strings in ''moodledata/lang/cs/grades.php'' (note the difference against the English strings).
| | Perhaps you've found some words or phrases not yet translated into your language? Or you've spotted a mistake? If so, please see the guide to [[Contributing a translation]]. |
|
| |
|
| The language files all have a .php extension (eg ''moodle.php'' or ''workshop.php''). These files contains short phrases, often called "strings". Strings may contain a placeholder for variable substitution. The placeholder is replaced with a certain value when the string is displayed. Strings are stored in PHP array called $string. The item key in this array is called ''string identifier'' or ''string name''. Examples:
| | Note: If you'd like to help translate more than just a few strings, please contact the maintainer of your language pack as listed in the [http://lang.moodle.org/local/amos/credits.php Translation credits] and ask where you can help. |
|
| |
|
| $string['addnewcourse'] = 'Add a new course';
| | Did you end up here, wanting to translate the [https://moodle.academy Moodle Academy courses], please start at [[Translating Moodle Academy]] |
| $string['hidesection'] = 'Hide section {$a}';
| |
| $string['uploadedfileto'] = 'Uploaded {$a->file} to {$a->directory}';
| |
|
| |
|
| These strings definition can be then used by get_string() function (see lib/moodlelib.php). If a string doesn't exist in a particular language, Moodle tries to find it in the so called parent language. If there is no parent language defined or it does not define the requested string, then the equivalent in English will automatically be used instead.
| | ==Wish to take on responsibility for a language pack?== |
|
| |
|
| Installation language packs may be found in the ''install/lang'' folder. These language packs contain only the strings needed for the installation process. The files are generated automatically and '''must not be changed manually'''. For translators this is a unusual experience, since changes you add to the strings used in the installation script will not be visible until our script is run and commits them into Moodle sources.
| | Please see [[Maintaining a language pack]] and the [[AMOS manual]] for further information about the AMOS translation toolkit. |
