Hi

I am not sure whether your theme complicates things. For testing can you switch to the standard theme and tell us why the problem with this simple setup is?

- Persian-only subjects have a Persian-only (Moodle) course per subject. See https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Language_settings#Course_administration_settings.

- The fully or partly translated subjects also have a (Moodle) course per subject. But in these courses the language is not set.

Install only the English and Persian language packs on the site. In the https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Language_settings#Site_administration_settings you allow Display language menu. You can choose English or Persian as the default language.

Then on dual-language courses Moodle will offer its own language selection drop-down menu on the top title bar.

Those courses may be translated using either or both plug-ins Michael mentioned earlier.

Hi Solmaz


I understand your proposal. That is the "big" approach, it is possible, but there will be lot of duplicate work. Carefully study all other approaches before taking that path. For example, the plug-in Restriction by language suggested by Michael is a strong candidate.

BTW, we are on first names in the community. And I have only cursory user-level experience in the multi-language features of Moodle, since my mother tongue happen to be an Indic language. Still we write left-to-right, unlike the Arabic languages.

More food for confusion:
- No mail server is supposed the resend if sending _failed_ (reject, 5xx codes). Transient errors like _deferred_ ( 4xx codes) are different.

- By "quick mail" if you mean the Moodle block Quickmail, no it is not a MTA either. It is an interface to Moodles built in MUA.

Hi Mohammed

For comparison, a VPS with 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM from a quality provider (SSD storage technology in the host) will handle 40 concurrent examination candidates (Quiz module), on default LAMP - Debian / Ubuntu CentOS with careful installation - starting at https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/Installation_quick_guide. Later for more performance tuning topics you can visit the Hardware and Performance forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=596.

I know, this may not sound helpful at a first glance. But this helps if nothing else the environment. As we all experience daily, there is an environment disaster happening.

Edit: I started the reply in the Installation forum, the reply pops up in the Hardware and performance forum. Magic!

Thanks Mary!
