Web 2.0 language editing interface
Moodle is designed to be translated into many languages, and currently has over 70 language packs.
The existing language editing interface enables translators to check for untranslated words or phrases and also enables Moodle administrators to change words or phrases used in Moodle. However, it could really benefit from some improvements.
This project will involve creating a Web 2.0 language editing interface which will:
- Make use of Ajax technology
- Detect syntax errors and common problems in translated strings
- Include a search and replace feature for changing a particular word, for example the word "Course", in every language string
- Display the differences between local and parent language packs
In addition, the project may also include:
- A local modification import/export feature
- Further language pack import improvements
- Work on other long-standing language-related issues
In general new ideas and fresh air in this area are welcome
=====================================
I would like to developer this ideia on google summer of code. My suggestion for spell checking and detect syntax/common problems is to use aspell as backend.
Any mentors ?!
