Translation

Note: This page is a work-in-progress. Feedback and suggested improvements are welcome. Please join the discussion on moodle.org or use the page comments.

So you'd like to help with translating Moodle?

Great! :-) Please check the list of language packs without maintainer. If your language is listed, and you'd like to volunteer to become language pack maintainer, email our translation coordinator, Koen, translation@moodle.org.

Otherwise, check the Translation credits and contact the maintainer of your language pack to ask where you can help. (If you don't receive a response within a reasonable time, email Koen translation@moodle.org.)

Getting started

The Moodle languages portal http://lang.moodle.org/ enables translators to work collaboratively on language packs and submit translations using a special Moodle translation tool called AMOS.

To help with translating Moodle

1. Create an account on the portal, making sure you provide your full name (in order for you to receive credit for your translation work) and contact email.
2. See the info Help for newcomers.
3. Access the AMOS translation tool via the link in the navigation block and see the AMOS documentation.
4. Check the langconfig file first, before translating other files.

If you have any questions, please enrol in the Translating Moodle course and join the discussions there.
