Armenian Language Pack and Fonts

Armenian Language Pack and Fonts

I am using 2.7.1 and I use the Clean theme.


We have a request from a potential client for a course in Armenian.  The course is no problem and we can have a translation.  However, when I view the Armenian language pack Moodle just shows square boxes.  See attached?


Any help appreciated......

As I see it, the language pack may not be installed properly, or has not been fully translated, or your system is not supporting the charset required. Check the charset first, then if that is OK, check the language pack. I would think that if you were to look here, in the Language Packs page, you are likely to find that only 37% of the pack has been translated, which would be the likely cause. Please recognize that all this is volunteer work, so takes time, and all contributions are welcome.

I have installed Armenian on our system and it works fine even though it is not translated enough. Could you please give a few more detailed about your system ?

What was needed was :

Moodle version

Theme Version

I see that it is a font display issue so what font you were using would be also good.


I went to your website and i see that the font you are using is Sans Serif, looking at the character map supported i do not see that Hayots are supported.


Please try to change your website font to something with a full character map like verdana especially if you are using a multiple languages.

Once you change your font to one that has a full character map try to go into you languages menu and see if Hayots are displayd correctly.

Could it be Leslie that you do not have an appropriate charset installed? Also, I understand that only these fonts use it: (from key-shortcut.com)

Arial

Arial Black

 Impact

 Lucida

 Tahoma

 Trebuchet MS

 Verdana

 Georgia

 Palatino Linotype

 Times New Roman

 Courier New

 Lucida Console

 Comic Sans MS

 Symbol (no web safe font)

 Webdings (no web safe font)

 Arial Unicode MS (no web safe font)

Of course, I could be wrong.... but, if you know a couple of Armenian speakers who would be willing to try to translate Moodle strings into Armenian, then I know that Koern would only be too glad of the help. That 37% could become 100% in a few days.. or so.
