| ==So you'd like to help with translating Moodle?==
| |
|
| |
|
| Great! :-) Please check the [[Language packs without maintainer|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, [mailto:translation@moodle.org translation@moodle.org].
| | This page is now located in the user docs: [[:en:Translation|Translation]] |
| | |
| Otherwise, check the [http://lang.moodle.org/local/amos/credits.php 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 [mailto:translation@moodle.org 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
| |
| | |
| # [http://lang.moodle.org/login/signup.php 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 [http://lang.moodle.org/mod/page/view.php?id=9 Help for newcomers].
| |
| # Access the AMOS translation tool via the link in the navigation block and see the [[AMOS|AMOS documentation]].
| |
| # Check the [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translation_langconfig langconfig] file first, before translating other files.
| |
| | |
| If you have any questions, please enrol in the [http://lang.moodle.org/course/view.php?id=2 Translating Moodle course] and join the discussions there.

| | |
| ==Non-translatable strings==
| |
| While AMOS does a great job for translating the Moodle core and most Moodle plugin language strings, some English language strings are (as of July 2013) not yet available for translation with AMOS.
| |
| | |
| The plugins classified as '[https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=category&id=38 Other] ' are not translatable by AMOS (see [http://lang.moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3113 this forum thread]). You can use the [[:en:Language customization|language customization]] tool within your Moodle (production or local) server to produce the .php file cointaining the translated language strings for your language and email this file to the particular 'other' plugin maintainer, so that it can be included in the lang folder within the downloadable Zip file for the plugin.
