Hi, I see in https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MOBILE-2639 building of all languages except English was removed. Say I'm building a custom app with some custom strings, how do I go about building the languages other than English now they've all been deleted?
Hi Mark!
We just remove the strings from the modules directories because we had too many duplications. You will find all the languages on src/assets/lang. There you can add edit and include new strings on any language. Also you can run the scripts create_langindex.sh and update_lang.sh from the scripts directory.
The first one will help you provide where the new strings are placed in the translations directory (Amos) and will auto-edit langindex.json. You'll find more info here: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Translating_the_Moodle_app
The second will update and add new languages to the app based on the number of translations (check the translating the Moodle app wiki page). It admits a lang code parameter to force building in a language and it will import new strings onto it.
Consider that those scripts clone the translations git repository onto $LANGFOLDER, edit functions.sh to change it.
Cheers!
