moodle-filter_multilang2

To Install it manually

• Unzip the plugin in the moodle .../filter/ directory.

To Enable it

• Go to "Site Administration >> Plugins >> Filters >> Manage filters" and enable the plugin there.

To Use it

• Create your contents in multiple languages.


• Enclose every language content between {mlang NN} and {mlang} tags:
  

  
  
    {mlang XX}content in language XX{mlang}
  
    {mlang YY}content in language YY{mlang}
  
    {mlang other}content for other languages{mlang}

  
  


• where XX and YY are the Moodle short names for the language packs (i.e., en, fr, de, etc.) or the special language name 'other'.


• Version 1.1.1 and later: a new enhanced syntax to be able to specify multiple languages for a single tag is now available. Just specify the list of the languages separated by commas:
  

  
  
  {mlang XX,YY,ZZ}Text displayed if current lang is XX, YY or ZZ, or one of their parent laguages.{mlang}

  
  


• Test it (by changing your browsing language in Moodle).

How it works

• Look for "lang blocks" in the text to be filtered.


• For each "lang block":
  
  
  
  • If there are texts in the currently active language, print them.
  
  
  • Else, if there exist texts in the current parent language, print them.
  
  
  • Else, as fallback, print the text with language 'other' if such
    one is set.
  
  
  
  


• Text outside of "lang blocks" will always be shown.

Definition of "lang block"

Is any text (including spaces, tabs, linefeeds or return characters) placed between '{mlang XX}' and '{mlang}' markers. You can not only put text inside "lang block", but also images, videos or external embedded content. For example, this is a valid "lang block":

{mlang es,es_mx,es_co}

First paragraph of text. First paragraph of text. First paragraph of text.



Second paragraph of text. Second paragraph of text. Second paragraph of text.

{mlang}

A couple of examples in action

Using text only

This text:

  {mlang other}Hello!{mlang}{mlang es,es_mx}¡Hola!{mlang}

  This text is common for all languages because it's outside of all lang blocks.

  {mlang other}Bye!{mlang}{mlang it}Ciao!{mlang}

• If the current language is any language except "Spanish International", "Spanish - Mexico" or Italian, it will print:
  

  
  
  Hello!
  
  This text is common for all languages because it's outside of all lang blocks.
  
  Bye!

  
  


• If the current language is "Spanish International" or "Spanish - Mexico", it will print:
  

  
  
  ¡Hola!
  
  This text is common for all languages because it's outside of all lang blocks.

  
  


• Notice the final 'Bye!' / 'Ciao!' is not printed.


• If the current language is Italian, it will print:
  

  
  
  This text is common for all languages because it's outside of all lang blocks.
  
  Ciao!

  
  


• Notice the leading 'Hello!' / '¡Hola!' and the final 'Bye!' are not printed.

Using text, images and external embedded content

We create a label with the content shown in the following image:

The "lang block" tags are highlighted using blue boxes. You can see that we have three pieces of content: the Spanish-only content (light yellow box), the language-independent content (light blue) and the English-only content (light red).

If the user browses the page with English as her configured language, she will see the common content (light blue box) and the English-only content (light red):

If the user browses the page with Spanish as her configured language, she will see the Spanish-only content (light yellow) plus the common content (light blue box):

  (i.e., en, fr, de, etc.)


• Test it (by changing your browsing language in Moodle).

How it works

• Look for "lang blocks" in the code.


• For each "lang block":
  
  
  
  • If there are texts in the currently active language, print them.
  
  
  • Else, if there exists texts in the current parent language, print them.
  
  
  • Else, don't print any text inside the lang block.
  
  
  
  


• Text outside of "lang blocks" will always be shown.

Definition of "lang block"

Is any text (including spaces, tabs, linefeeds or return characters)
placed between '{mlang XX}' and '{mlang}' markers. You can not only
put text inside "lang block", but also images, videos or external
embedded content. For example, this is a valid "lang block":

{mlang es}
