You can then make your changes to that es/theme_bcu.php

I am not sure how it works. The alternative is to create a Spanish Lang folder. To do this copy theme_bcu.php from the Lang/en folder and add to a new es folder
lang/es/theme_bcu.php

Thanks, Mary.
I've just updated the spanish language pack in my site, but there are no changes in these strings.
Maybe I have to wait mainteiners' approving?

No just update the language packs that you have installed, Presuming you updated the Spanish translation in AMOS

Hi, Mary.
I've just translated the strings in AMOS.
How can I use these translations in my site? Should I reinstall the theme?

Hi Ben, if you want to add a translation for those names, you have to do that using the AMOS language UI. You will find a link at the very top of this page 'Translations'

Thanks to you, Mike.
Last thing, do you know where can I change the text of "Hide blocks", "Full screen" or "This course"? I don't know how to change it.
Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike You might also like to update and change how you use jQuery in BCU theme as it presently is contravening Moodle standards for jQuery. Here is the Docs explained the procedure...

Hi Ben & Mary,
Thanks for letting me know about this, I'll get them sorted for the next version!

Hello again, looks like there are more errors in the Lang/en $string file. This time is is the Slider pictures. Wrong: Add picture to the frontpage slideshow. Type in a URL to an image.

Hi Mike, Checkout the Lang/en $string for the logo as the description is out of date, it is nolonger a case of adding a URL but actually uploading an image, that is why there is a drag-n-drop area!
Wrong: Change the logo of this theme by entering the URL to a new one (i.e., ). A transparent .png will work best.

Thanks so much, Mike!!
I´ve translated "Events", "My sites", "People" and "Grades" .
But I don't know how to translate "Hide blocks", "Full screen" and "This course". I've found the strings:
get_string('hideblocks', 'theme_bcu')
get_string('showblocks', 'theme_bcu')
get_string('fullscreen', 'theme_bcu')
get_string('standardview', 'theme_bcu')
Where can I change that text?
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi Ben, glad you like it. I think this might be me dropping the ball and it using hard coded strings. The relevant files to change are layouts/includes/header.php and renderer.php.
I'll fix that for the next release so that they can be translated like normal.
My apologies and thanks for bringing this to my attention sad
