Tool for multilang content generation

TKNIKA is a Innovation Centre for Vocational Training In the Basque Country. We have two official languages (Basque and Spanish) and therefore, we use quite often multilang filter.

There are some problems documented (Problems with multilang filter and SPAN tags) and we have asked Edooca the development of a tool to help teachers creating multilang content.

It's just a first version but we think it will be helpful. We are changing some final details and we will soon share the block.

This is an step-by-step example. We would appreciate your feedback about this version and future developments of the tool.

Hi,

This looks like a vey good idea. Our organization also has two official languages (and more working ones) and everything that could simplify edition of texts would be welcome.

I would be ready to test it and give you feedback when you are done with it.

However, in my idea, I would say the real deal for this kind of tool would be something duplicating the fields on the main area depending on how many languages you want to use in your course.

cheers

Hallo,

This looks great....!

I'm using multilang filters (4 languages) and it's very slow because one needs to work without editor to avoid the mess and code between too language spans....I think that with you tool, we could write and edit texts at least twice as fast !!!

Thank you smile

Hi Moodlers!

We have developed a block to help teachers generating multilang content.

Download multilang block.

Step-by-step guide.

We would appreciate some help testing the tool before publishing it in Modules and plugins database.

The package includes the lang folders for three languages (Spanish, Basque and English). We would also appreciate translations to other languages.

This tool has been developed by Edooca on behalf of TKNIKA. Improvement proposals are welcome. sonrisa

thanks much

J.

Hi,

I have published in the moodle.org directory, but I suppose they have to accept it first to become available for all users.

You can download from our server here.

Enjoy the block, and don't forget to feedback. tongueout

Hi Iñigo

I have downloaded the module. Thank you for the link. Up thread there is a link for the Userguide, but the link does not work. Can you give that also please?

Also, do you know if the module works in Moodle 2.x?

Thanks

Hi Manel!

We work in Basque and Spanish. Multilang filter is a very useful tool to be used in some elements (course categories, blocks, ...) but maybe it is not the appropiate tool to be used for all the elements un a course.

We are working with eXeLearning to create contents and we export them to XLIFF format to manage the translation process.

Could XLIFF be a good tool to translate Moodle courses? We can discuss this question here.
