Module language files

Hi fellow moodlers,

It's been a while since I installed a module, and I need to remember how to set up the language file.

If I install a third-party module, should I copy the language file to moodle/lang/en_utf, to moodledata/lang/en_utf_local or to moodle/mod/[modulename]/lang/en_utf?

TIA. smile

Hi Tim,

in recent versions, all third-party modules should come to you with their own language packages in mod/modulename/lang/xx_utf8/modulename.php. Moodle will find them there, so there is no need to copy them after the module installation.
If you want to create new translation or modify a current one, use the translation tool shipped with Moodle 1.9 which takes care of this.

Hello,
I am also new to modifying language and translations of standard titles. I have made my way through permissions and files, but I can not locate what file the title "Available course" is in. I am using Moodle 1.9
Thanks
CD
