Language Packs
From Mahara Wiki
Mahara has language packs for several languages available, and more are being added all the time.
View translations and their progress
Take a look at the Mahara translation project on Launchpad, which shows how much of Mahara has been translated into each language. Only Czech is still maintained in an older format in the language repository on Gitorious.
Here are a few more links:
- Status of completeness for all languages for Mahara master including the last modified date
- Status of language pack completeness for Mahara 1.5, the latest stable release
Download and install language packs
You can download individual language packs in their corresponding Mahara version.
Note: Make sure you download the correct language pack for the Mahara version you are running. Downloading a different version from the version you are running will most likely result in you not seeing all strings translated.
To install the language pack into your Mahara site, follow the Language pack installation instructions.
Contribute to language packs
You can find more information about joining and existing translation team or setting up a new translation in the Developer Area.
Contributors to language packs
Current contributors to translations (year 2011 onwards) are tracked on Launchpad on the details page of each translations. Listed here are contributors who started working on the translations prior to that and may not be listed in Launchpad. That also means that there are also more language packs available now.
