We could extend the language pack management section defined in bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1884717 There could be a tool to manage custom language packs, for example for Mahara sites that have these scenarios: 1. An organisation has specific requirements for the email messages and notifications sent from their Mahara instance. Instead of using the generic email or notification text, they would like to add some information specific to their organisation, for the recipient to read (e.g. pointing to their own manuals or support staff site). To this end, they find the correct string identifier for these notifications and modify the text accordingly for the language packs installed in their Mahara instance. 2. A school in primary or secondary education wishes to use Mahara, but feels the interface sounds too academic. They want to tone that down to a more age appropriate level, by modifying some of the language strings on instruction pages in their Mahara instance, so their younger portfolio owners and group participants understand what's expected of them. for this we'd need to define: - How are we actually supporting customised language packs in Mahara. For example, do we allow a language pack to define a parent language to default to in case the string is not defined? - What actions do we want to provide - If there are changes in language strings in core, then the admin of the site will need to review the strings in the customised language pack. How are we detecting this changes and what tools will we be offering to make the task easier - Do we allow other roles into this section or just the site admin? ** Affects: mahara Importance: Wishlist Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
