Package: moodle
Version: 1.4.4.dfsg.1-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The attached script (if I don't forget) converts a Moodle language pack,
or set of language packs, or all language packs, to UTF-8.  After
conversion, real multilingual use of Moodle becomes possible.  One
exception on our system is the "he" language pack, which uses an
encoding that iconv can't handle.

Empty files in language packs are also reported.  I found some; they may
have been left over from earlier, broken conversion attempts.  Where
UTF-8 language packs already exist, non-UTF-8 language packs are
replaced with softlinks.

This script does not touch the database; if existing data is still using
the old encodings, things get really difficult as the database seems to
have no idea what encoding the data is really in.  But use this
conversion script from the start and things work just dandy across
languages.
