==The English (fixes) (en_fix) language pack==
 
Suggested fixes for typos or misspellings and any other suggested improvements to English language strings in the Moodle core may be submitted via the [http://lang.moodle.org Translation site] by contributing them to the ''English (fixes) (en_fix)'' language pack, as described in [[Contributing a translation|contributing a translation]]. They will then be reviewed and merged with the ''English (en)'' language pack two weeks prior to each release (as mentioned in [[Release process]]).
 
Sometimes bugs reported in the tracker can be fixed simply by changing an English language string. In these cases, the string can be changed in the en_fix language pack and the issue closed (as mentioned in [[Bug triage]]), thus saving developer time in not having to create a patch, go through peer review etc.
 
==English child language packs==
 
The following child language packs enable particular strings to be changed:
 
* English - United States (en_us) - for US English versions of words e.g. 'enroll' versus 'enrol', 'color' versus 'colour' and 'point' versus 'mark'
* English for kids (en_kids) - for simplified English words and phrases for use with younger children
* English - Pirate (en_ar) - for 'Talk Like a Pirate' day phrases
 
==Additional plugins==
 
Suggested fixes for typos or misspellings and any other suggested improvements to English language strings in any of the 1000+ additional plugins available for Moodle should be forwarded to the plugin maintainer listed in the [https://moodle.org/plugins/ Moodle plugins directory]. Plugin maintainers are generally happy to receive suggestions for improving their plugin.
