It is the two strings in moodle.php:
$string['updatethis'] = '$a-indstillinger'; and
$string['updatinga'] = '$a-opdatering';
which used to be shown as 'Modulename-indstillinger' and 'Modulename-opdatering' (in Danish: eg. Forum-indstillinger, Lektion-indstillinger). But Moodle automatically change the strings in moodle.php to '\$a-indstillinger' and '\$a-opdatering' so $a will not be recognised as a variable, it will be displayed as '$a-indstillinger' and '$a-opdatering'.$string['updatinga'] = '$a-opdatering';
I can correct this in an extern editor, but next time I edit the file in Moodle, the string will be changed again.
In fact I would prefer a translation to 'Modulenameindstillinger' (eg. Foruminstillinger), that would be correct Danish, but '$aindstillinger' gives an empty button to click at.
Another possibility would be 'Indstillinger for modulename', but this is not possible, the module name will be displayed with a capital letter as first letter, which is not correct Danish.
I am using Moodle 1.9.7+ (Build: 20091130)
