Missing language strings in AMOS

Missing language strings in AMOS

Hi,

I'm the developer of the Learning Analytics plugin and it appears there are language strings missing in AMOS.

The language file contains 65 strings. AMOS only lists 62 strings. To give an example: The string "navigation_link" is currently missing.

Is this something that I need to fix in the plugin or is this a problem with AMOS?

Thanks, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Some months ago I asked about a similar issue, reading David's answer may be helpful to you:

Hi!

Thanks! So I guess it's a problem with AMOS then as we don't use any complex operators in the language strings...

// edit: I'm wondering if the use of line-breaks in strings is a problem... There are a few of them in the strings in the language file although all of them appear to be imported correctly in to AMOS.

This is not an AMOS bug but expected behaviour.

You have three strings with the "_link" suffix in the string id. Such strings have special purpose as documented at https://docs.moodle.org/dev/String_API#Help_strings

Such strings are not expected to be translatable and so the AMOS hides them from the Translator UI. That explains why you see three strings less than expected.

It is recommended that string identifiers follow the same naming rules as variable names (so the string would be navigationlink instead of navigation_link) and so suffixes like this would be used for special behaviour only.

Let me suggest that you rename the string identifier.
