Multilanguage content in Moodle
Room D11, 15.06.2023, 14:00
Some participants share whether they use multilang in their daily teaching or whether they set up multiple parallel courses.
Support in Moodle via Filter
- Notation als <span lang=”XX” class=”mutlilang”>language dependent content</span>
- Works on content and headlines
- Pro:
- Already built in, no plugin required.
- Works via basic HTML that should not interfere with any other content.
- Works in all places where the filters are applied.
- Contra:
- some HTML knowledge necessary
- lacks some user friendly handling (between different language tags must not be anything else but a space, fallback is first language)
Support via Multilang V2 Plugin Filter
- Notation als
- Works on content and headlines
- Works in all places where the filters are applied.
- Pro:
- Easy usable for the inexperienced user.
- Allows blocks anywhere, different languages must not be connected.
- Has a “catch all” function {mlang other}
Given both ways are activated, how to transmit the knowledge to the faculty?
Plugins:
Suggestion: why not use the translation technology for courses that is used on the Moodle Academy. This is worth to think of.
