Translators

One of Moodle's strengths is the number of translations it has. Each translation takes many hours of work, as there are over 16000 phrases to translate! Many of the languages have more than one contributor, sometimes working together and sometimes working serially.

Translation credits lists all these wonderful people.

The Translation Coordinator is Koen Roggemans translation AT moodle DOT org.

Themes

Themes give Moodle sites colour and life. Theme credits lists all the themes included in the core Moodle download, along with their authors.

Supporting Organisations

  • Open University, UK - contributed to Roles, accessibility in 1.8, Quiz (ongoing) and many smaller things.
  • Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS), Italy (especially Daniele Cordella) - contributed to accessibility compliance to W3C guidelines and Italian law.
  • Microsoft, US - contributed to development of XMLDB.
  • Google, US (Summer of Code) - contributed to development of Admin interface, AJAX editing and Database activity presets
