Does Moodle Mobile supports multilanguage?

Using Moodle 2.6.6, Moodle mobile works fine but we have an issue in a course with multilanguage ( Spanish-English)

I have made a quick look at the forum mobile and found anything about this

In the computer, the course displays text according with the language selected, but in the mobile it displays Spanish in the label, and English in the name of activities.

And it is the same independently of the language selected in the mobile app settings


Thanks in advance

Hello Bernat,

Hello Bernat,

most of the contents are retrieved in the app depending on the language you've selected in Moodle.

So if your profile is in english you will retrieve the activity names in english, that means that changing the language in the app has not the same effect that in Moodle.

In the app, changing the language of the app is just for translating the layout strings.

Cheers, Juan

Hello Juan, 

Sorry for late reply. Your post has make me more clear how multilanguage  works in Moodle Mobile. Anyway there are still some strange things. 

For some labels it works fine but in others not. In these ones the content shown in the mobile doesn't work as expected : arrow up/down means first words/complete text. Instead it shows old text that was written before in that  label, as it was saved in cache.....

On the other hand, LaTEX filter seems doesn't work and $$ are shown in a mathematical expression

Thanks a lot for your good work

Hello Bernat,

thanks for your comments, yes the label contents are stored in cache and that maybe the problem you are having, I'm going to create a issue in the tracker to check and refresh the cache for the labels

The LaTEX filter is also used in your labels? or only page contents?

Regards, Juan

LaTEX filter is used both in labels an page contents, but the problem in the Mobile version is in the labels. 

In the attachment is a screenshot of the mobile screen, by the way I can't understand why when doing this the image generated is so big (1080x1920)
