How can I change a word or phrase used in Moodle?
• Access Administration > Language > Language editing. • Click the “Edit words or phrases” link in the middle of the page. • On the edit words or phrases page click the “Switch lang directory” button and a local language folder, parentlanguage_local, will automatically be created in moodledata/lang. Files of edited strings will then be saved in this folder. This is necessary to prevent changes that you make being overwritten by a newer language pack when updating your Moodle site. • Choose a file to edit. You may need to search through a few files before finding the file containing the word you wish to change. The file moodle.php contains all common site-wide phrases. • Change the word or phrase. • Click the “Save changes” button. The changed phrase will be highlighted in a different colour.
