Moodle 2.0

Chapter 3
Multi-language content
Earlier, you might have used the setting Display language menu to give your users
a list of languages for the site. When a user selects one of these languages, only
the Moodle interface is translated; the course content remains in whatever language
you created it in. If you want your site to be truly multi-lingual, you can also create
course content in several languages. Activating the Multi-Language Content filter
will then cause the course material to be displayed in the selected language.
To create course content in multiple languages, you must enclose text written in each
language in a tag, like this:
Basic Botany
Botánica Básica
This requires that you write course material in HTML. This can be done for
headings, course descriptions, course material, and any other HTML document
that Moodle displays.
Word censorship
When this filter is activated, any word on the offensive list is blacked out. You can
enter a list of banned words under the Settings for this filter. If you don't enter your
own list, Moodle will use a default list that is found in the language pack.
Tidy
This filter checks HTML that is written or uploaded to Moodle, and attempts to
"tidy" it by making it compliant with the XHTML standard. If your audience is
using a wide variety of browsers (or browser versions), or a screen reader for the
blind, making your pages compliant with this standard could make the pages
easier to render.
