Hi István,
Ok than, XOT. There are some rough edges in Choosing the language. I
need to improve on that.
To only PLAY the LO in Hungarian, you need:
1. a hungarian version of languages/engine_en-GB.xml
2. add an entry for Hungarian in languages/language-config.xml
3. Have a language attribute in learningObject node of the
USER-FILES/5-tom-Nottingham/data.xml file, where 5 is the ' id' of the
LO and tom is the user name of the creator of the LO and Nottingham id
the name of the template. I.e:
<learningObject language="nl-NL" name="Learning Object Title" ...
The value of the attribute, in this case "nl-NL" , should be the same as
mentioned in the file modified in step 2.
4. For specific words in some of the templates you have to edit the LO:
For example the words you mentioned are in the quiz. Go to the quiz page
of your LO and toggle the ' language attribute'
Then, you can overrule the default, in your case English text, used in
the quiz:
You should be able to select the language before you login, but the
language config is not used yet, so even if you add Hungarian to the
language-config.xml file, Hungarian will not appear in the list.
Furthermore, if for some reason the master template contains a language
attribute, you can't overrule that.
What we should also implement, but is not there yet is add the language
to the first setup page of a new LO.
To be able to AUTHOR in Hungarian involves 3 extra steps and will
translate most of the XOT website and everything you see in the
'Wizard/editor'. Also the default texts for the phrases in quiz will be
in Hungarian. There is a special tool for that. I will gladly point you
in the right direction if you want to do that as well.
Regards,
Tom
