Our Moodle 2.1.1 site is bilingual. How do I go about adding resources/activities that will appear in the correct language once selected by the student, e.g. on the homepage?
You can turn on the multilang filter on your site. This will enable you to enter alternate text in different languages. A user then only sees the text in the language they have selected for viewing the site.
For example, if you enter:
<span lang="en" class="multilang">Welcome to Glamorgan Welsh for Adults Centre</span>
<span lang="cy" class="multilang">Croeso i Ganolfan Cymraeg i Oedolion Morgannwg</span>
only one of these texts will be displayed, depending on the current language for the user.
Diolch/Thanks! That'll be really useful for the future.

the teacher would have to put in the content in that language?
Yes There is no Moodle Translator implemented yet.
BTW knowing the limits of the multilang filter, I would probably suggest having two separate courses - one for each language. There are drawbacks of that approach but at the end, your life will be probably easier and you have much better control over what students get.
