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
- 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.
- See the info Help for newcomers.
- Access the AMOS translation tool via the link in the navigation block and see the AMOS documentation.
- 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.
