Moodle in English: multi-language content filter in Moodle mobile app

multi-language content filter in Moodle mobile app

Hi all ,

As you know, the language of Moodle's interfaces changes according to the language that the user chooses. Sometimes some translations are incomplete, so we have to enter them manually. For any new content that is added and we want it to appear in several languages, we enter all translations manually using SPAN tag(multi-language content filter). All that was mentioned previously works perfectly on the web, but on the mobile application it does not work and the multilingual fields are not displayed according to the user's language, all translations are displayed together.

Moodle : 3.8

Mobile app : 3.9

Any one have an idea ?

Hello,

Sorry to hear that your multi-lang content isn't working in the Moodle app. I thought that the app supported all standard filters, including multi-lang (MOBILE-2491).

I am going to move your discussion to the Moodle for mobile forum where all the app experts hang out, and hopefully someone will have some ideas...

Hi,

I just checked and the multi-lang filter seems to work fine for us. Where are you applying it exactly?

Just to confirm, the syntax you're using is like this, right?

<span lang="en" class="multilang">English</span><span lang="es" class="multilang">Español</span>

Cheers,

Dani

Could you post a screen shot and could you confirm it is core multi-lang and not mlang2 (though in my experience they both work on mobile)

Hi,

can you please give me more details about how you configured it? I don't know what you mean exactly by "in registration form", it could be in auth instructions, in a profile field, etc.

I'm guessing you're using email based self-registration. I tried to put it in auth instructions and it worked fine for me. Please tell me exactly which field in Moodle you modified to put the lang filter.

It would be great if you could add a screenshot too like Marcus suggested.

Cheers,
Dani
