Overview

This plugin will make the creation of multilingual contents on Moodle much easier with the TinyMCE editor.

The plugin is developed to work with the optionally installed Iñaki Arenaza's multilang2 filter, and this plugin is the adaption on his plugin for TinyMCE editor. It will work with TinyMCE 6 that is included in Moodle ≥ 4.1.

After the installation there is a new Button (with a globe icon) and a menu entry in the Format section where you can select a language. Clicking on a language entry adds a language opening and closing tag to your text at the current cursor position. If there is a selection then the language tags are places around the selection. In case you use the highlighting option and see the yellow language tags, you may click one of these tags then select a new language from the menu and that will change the language of the existing tag. You may also remove it by hitting the backspace or delete key. This will remove the tag, and it's counterpart in case the formatting is correct.

Requirements

Before version 0.3 the plugin filter_multilang2 must be installed and enabled. Since 0.3 this is not an requirement anymore. In this case the plugin creates the default multilangage elements that are built in in Moodle core.

Installation

Copy repository content in moodleroot/lib/editor/tiny/plugins.
Install the plugin within Moodle via the upgrade script.
Optional: Adjust the settings in "Site administration" -> "Plugins" -> "Tiny Multi-Language Content (v2) settings".

Troubleshooting

If the language selection does not appear in the editor:

Check that the multilang2 filter is installed and enabled.
If you don't use the multilang2 filter, check that the setting fallbackspantag is active.
Check that your site has at least two languages installed.
If you don't have more than one language installed, enable the addlanguage option and set a few language iso codes in the languageoptions setting.

If your language tags are saved correctly but all language content is displayed, no matter which user language is selected, then check that you have the language tags for a certain phrase within the same block element (e.g. paragraph). See details at the Moodle documentation.
This does not apply if you use the multilang2 filter because there is a strict filtering even though elements (referring to the same content in different languages) span via multiple paragraphs.
