Hi I recently got used to moodle http://moodle.org. I want to use the official Moodle App for IOs/Android. However I want the language to be german when using the app. Here is an example screenshot: moodleapp

The docs say that I have to upload a mobile.php to my lang/en folder in order to customize the language of the app. See http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Mobile_app#Translation (applies for newer versions as well). The file is structured like this http://pastebin.com/5TJWZ4ue

However if I upload this file to my server, the app does not change it's language. It is still english.

I hope that someone with more insight to moodle can help me.

  • if i change the extra space the error message changes but is not as specific as i'd like it to be. See my edit – Xeun Nov 22 '13 at 19:33
  • Can you please explain what you are trying to do? what do you mean change the language? – Ura Nov 22 '13 at 19:42
  • Basically I am trying to customize the mooodle mobile app by setting up language and css files on the server side. This is explained in http://docs.moodle.org/25/de/Mobile_App The app seems to be english by default. Therefore I have copied a mobile.php to my lang/eng folder. But as stated above I get erros while syncing the language via app. Now I am trying to understand the problem by using curl to get a more detailed error description. – Xeun Nov 22 '13 at 21:10
  • And what is the error msg? You can get more detailed error when you turn debugging on: http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Debugging#Debug_messages Also, are you positively sure you purged the cache? – Jakub Kania Dec 01 '13 at 11:19

You'll need to install the German language pack :

Settings > Site administration > Language > Language packs

Then you can change the default language for the site to German :

Administration > Site administration > Language > Language settings.

also for individual user profiles :

Administration > My profile settings > Edit profile.

More information here http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Language_settings

    Changing/installing the language pack does not apply for the mobile app. As described in http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Mobile_app#Translation i need to install a mobile.php which I have done. I simply changed one keyword in the default mobile.php which is described here: http://jsfiddle.net/jleyva/9AFKN/2/embedded/result/ this however does not work... – Xeun Nov 23 '13 at 23:25
  • As described, this answer did not work... But Thanks for the work. – Xeun Dec 02 '13 at 11:36

For moodle mobile language customization, go to the mobile features section in the site admin. Scroll down to custom language strings. Update your strings there. It works
