Moodle Multilang span tags do not work with the course heading.

I have noticed that the multilang spans do not work as expected in course titles in the latest version of the theme boost in moodle 3.2. The problem is when I add the span tags, the title in both languages are displayed at the same time. I added following code in Full course name field.

<span lang="en" class="multilang">Biology</span><span lang="ar" class="multilang">مادة الاحياء</span>

I have as already stated enabled the multi-lang filter for both "Content and headings".

I have attached image for reference.

Thanks,

Dnyanesh

What page is this? I am not aware of a standard page/feature in 3.2 that would generate such a list of blocks with courses. Is it generated by a custom plugin/theme?

Hello David,
Yes it is generated by a custom theme.

Thanks,

In that case, you should report this bug to the theme maintainers. They do not use format_text() when displaying the text, so the filters are not applied.

Hi,

I have similar problem. My Moodle is also 3.2 and I am using Clean theme. 

I entered some text in "auth_instructions" in the format given here and that is also showing both the languages and not translating the content. Also, I am facing this issue on login page only. 

Can you pls help me with it.

The auth_instructions field works differently from elsewhere in Moodle. To provide instructions in multiple languages, you need use the language customisation feature, as described in the section 'Is this your first time here?' instructions in Managing authentication.
