Multi Language

The multi-language content filter enables resources to be created in multiple languages. When turned on, it looks for tags which indicate that a text contains multiple languages. Then it selects and outputs the text in the user's language




Enabling the multi-language content filter

An admin can enable the multi-language content filter as follows:

  1. Go to Site administration > Plugins > Filters > Manage filters and in the dropdown menu for multi-language content select 'On'.
  2. If headings are to be shown in multiple languages too, select 'Content and headings' in the 'Apply to' column. Note that this may affect site performance.

shadowed image

How to use

<"span lang="en" class="multilang"> "your_content_in_English"
<"span lang="de" class="multilang"> "your_content_in_German_here"

shadowed image

Common problems

The multi-lang filter is not enabled. It can be enabled in 'Manage filters' in the Site administration'.

  1. Headings aren't displaying correctly - the multi-lang filter should be set to apply to content and headings in 'Manage filters' in the Site administration'.
  2. Extra characters between language span tags - editor might add
    or other tags, please review the html in source view.
  3. If the course setting is "force" some language, you won't be able to change the displayed language.
  4. Extra spaces in language span tag.
  5. The multi-lang filter does not work with the course short name! A course's short name is meant as a unique course identifier, so it does not use the multi-lang filter.
