Renaming "Dashboard"

Renaming "Dashboard"

Hi there,


for our Moodle presence (Moodle 3.5, Boost) we would like to rename "Dashboard". So we succesfully renamed in the navdrawer by  changing the value of language string "sitehome". But that did not change the value in the drop down menu, which still says "Dashboard":

user menu

Can you say how to change that String for dashboard in  the drop down menu ?


Thanks a lot !


Best,


Noam

Hi,

for the German translation we want special word say "Schreibtisch". So i adjusted the language pack via the web interface.

So after doing so, did you switch to German as the screen shot is in English?

Hi,

so I changed above settings with an admin User (site admin ). For that user as well as for other admins it is still "Dashboard" in stead of "Schreibtisch". "Normal Users" now see "Schreibtisch for the German version.

Of course i deleted Moodle and browser cache each time.

Best,

So are the users with the issue, using the site in English or German?

Hi Gareth,

sorry for my late answer ... and thanks for your patience!
This is still not solved. The behaviour of the users is different with regard to this.

German is the default language. Non the less, for each user i switch from German to English and back from English to German.
So if I create a new user as administrator in the backend, this particular user sees the German translation "Schreibtisch". The same goes for users we created as admin in the past. However if somebody creates new user via self-registration he still sees dashboard.


...would be grateful for further hints !!

Best,

Noam

Has the course language been forced to English in the course settings? Or such for a the given user i.e. their language is not German?  Or something like that?

Hi Gareth,

excuse me .... they use the German site ...
I always clicked "delete all cache". Maybe there is a special theme cache ...

There is a theme cache, but that does not pertain to the language strings. Ok, they might be using a German site, however at different levels its is possible to specify that a given language is set, thus this has been done by accident with the problematic users / courses etc.

Ok, I now believe that this is a 'Language' and not a theme issue, so am going to move it to that forum where you should receive a more specific set of eyes on it.

The string in the User menu is not the same as the string in the Navdrawer.

The User menu string is:
Component: core admin (select the admin.php file)
String: mymoodle

Next time you could check which string is being used by checking debugstringids in Admin Debug settings. Then you can add the parameter strings=1 in the URL to check every strings being used
