Translation

The Translation site enables translators to work collaboratively on language packs using a special Moodle translation tool called AMOS. If you see an error or non-translated term in Moodle in your language, you can contribute a correction or translation via the Translation site.

If you'd like to help translating more than just a few strings, please contact the maintainer of your language pack as listed in the Translation credits. (If you don't receive a reply within a reasonable time, contact our Moodle translation coordinator, Koen Roggemans, translation@moodle.org.)

Getting started with AMOS

  1. Create an account on the Translation site and log in.
  2. Click the link AMOS translator.
  3. In the Languages box, make sure your language is selected.
  4. In the Components box, find the language strings you wish to translate.
  5. Click the button 'Save filter settings'.
  6. Type your translation into the boxes on the right. When you click out of the box, it will turn blue and your text will be saved automatically.
  7. When you have finished translating, click the button at the bottom of the page 'Go to the stage'. Do about 30 strings at a time.
  8. Review your translation, then click the button 'Send strings to language pack maintainers'.
  9. (Optional) Add a message for the language pack maintainer explaining what you have done.
Add your translation
Submit your translation

What happens next

The maintainer(s) of the language pack will receive notification of your contribution. It will be reviewed and then most likely added to the language pack. You will receive email notification when the status of your contribution changes i.e. when a maintainer begins their review and then when they accept or reject it. At any time you can use the contribution record comments to communicate with the maintainer about your submitted translation.

In addition, your name will then appear on the Translation site front page as a recent, valued contributor. Well done!

Once you have three contributions accepted, you are listed as a contributor in the Translation credits.
