Just started work on a Welsh translation pack. If anyone has already started one please let me know.
How would I go about submitting it for inclusion in Moodle?
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your intention to contribute! What a coincidence. I'm just writing a translators manual. 
A topic there is how to get your contribution in the main Moodledistribution.
You can post the initial files of the translation as a zipfile to martin@moodle.org . Later on you can get CVS-access so you can submit your work directly.
Is there any news on the Welsh language translation?
We are currenlty setting Moodle up and we would like it to be available in Welsh for the Welsh medium schools.
Diolch

Not on moodle.org. You could try to contact the former poster personaly.

We have begun to translate the strings (.php) and hope to have them completed by the summer (two translators down at the moment, hence delay). Work on the Help files (.html) will begin at about that time.
We feel that most admins will be happy to set up Moodle using English versions of help files, but that the look for the students and teachers (i.e. the .php files) is most important.
If you, or anyone reading this, has translated any of the files (php scripts or html help files) then please reply to this message and I will arrange for you to e-mail them to me for inclusion. Note: all contributions will be acknowledged in the readme file for the language pack.
Thanks

Hi Mark,
I wonder if you could let us know where you are with your development with a Welsh Lang pack?
kind regards.

I was going to initiate a Welsh translation, but if you have it already please post.
Will it be Welsh for north or south Wales?
What abbreviation will you use for the language: We, Cy or other?
Many schools and LEA's in Wales are adopting Moodle and Welsh is essential as a translation.
Please update.

Hi,
I didn't receive any Welsh translation yet, so I doubt someone is making one or has made one.
Otherwise, if someone out there has a start of a translation, please contribute it to the Moodle project.
But it might be a good idea to start a translation of your own. All info on how to do that on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Translation.
I will help you with any technical issues if necessary.

The Welsh Language Board have apparently taken on the task. However, I do not have a contact name to check on progress.
I am sure the WLB would be assisted in their efforts if they were to join Moodle and register as language developers.
I will chase up a name and talk to him/her, then point them towards Moodle site.

Thanks for that. We would be able to help them out with some problems and avoid doing double work with may be other groups started/wanting to start.
Have you heard any news on this, or have you got a contact name I can use? I'm about to start using Moodle and I absolutely have to have one version in Welsh and one in English. I will probably have to send the relevant files off to a translator to do - so if I can get even a part-done version I can save money (and then, obviously, feed back the extra translations to the community).
I don't know if people all ready know this, but there is a Moodle-Wales mailing list for users of Moodle in Wales.

Just to let you know that Moodle has very nearly been completely
translated. I should know more shortly. Though this is only a
translation of 1.5. 1.6 and 1.7 haven't been started as far as
I'm away!
At the next Wales Moodle user group meeting 20th October we will be discussing furture developments of the Welsh Moodle translation.
Thanks

Hi Hannah,
How about including the translation in Moodle CVS and update it regularly? That way, the translation is installable and upgradable through the Moodle interface

Im slightly confused as to whether there is a welsh transalation available or whether one is pending - any update ?
Not on download.moodle.org. It would be nice though if we had something to share with other Welsh users...
Hi All
Just to let you know that 80% of 1.7 has been translated and can be downloaded from
http://cardiffschools.net/translate/
You can also contribute to this translation from here too!
Thanks

I’m pleased to inform you that the Welsh language pack for Moodle 1.8.2 was submitted to moodle.org today.
If you want a copy now, it is on the front page of the welsh translation Moodle website, hosted by Coleg Menai, North Wales.
http://www.e-menai.com/cyfieithumoodle/
On behalf of all who contributed to the success of this project
In CVS now, with some technical error corrections, so please use the CVS version for further language pack development.
The help files are not in yet, since they contain some cy-...html files, which should not be there and some English files.
Thanks for your effort!
