Looking for beta-testers of a Course Translator Plugin

Looking for beta-testers of a Course Translator Plugin

I'm looking for people to help beta-test a Course Translator plugin I've created for the school I work at. It's based on DeepL and loosely on work from Content Translation Filter and Content Translation Manager.

Here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/jamfire/moodle-filter_coursetranslator

Main branch is the latest or you can download the v0.9.0 tag.

Kaleb,
I've been working with Mary Coach and Jessica Gramp at Moodle HQ for a while now building a content translation filter - https://github.com/andrewhancox/moodle-filter_translations

It currently supports manual translations and google translate but it's very easy to add additional translation providers. If you're interested take a look here:

Do get in touch if you'd be interested in combining efforts.

Hey Andrew,

I'll check this out. I had originally tried to install Content Translation Manager and Filter and ran into a lot of different issues. We needed all translations to work with course backup and restore and all of the translation info available on a single page for a course (along with word count and character count). When I used those two other plugins, we would also lose the translations if the source language was updated (outside of the updatehash form). I don't know if those were configuration issues or use cases those plugins didn't support. Have you solved those with your filter?

Also, I gave up on the filter approach and decided to create something around mlang instead where a translator could go in, and work on the content for a single course: https://github.com/jamfire/moodle-local_coursetranslator

Do you think that workflow would work with what you're working on?

For atto/tinymce editors the translation will remain connected even if the source text changes - you even get shown a diff of the original and updated source text when you re-translate.

Backup and restore is not currently supported but definitely could be.

It sounds like you've taken a very different approach to using a filter so it may be that this isn't a direct fit but I would definitely be interested in your feedback.
