I recently found a lot of new strings in third party plugins that have a '*_link' name, which seem to be links to Moodle English language documentation, such as:
alignment_link | questionnaire : 'mod/questionnaire/questions#Radio_Buttons'
checkboxes_link | questionnaire : 'mod/questionnaire/questions#Check_Boxes'
And I wonder whether I should keep them in English, so that they link to the original English language Docs.
Does anybody know what we should do with these links ?
Thanks in advance.
On contrary, I would suggest to leave them all in English. If a translation exists, the redirect to the translated version can be handled at the docs wiki site itself. Note that the actual docs URL will be composed depending on the current user's language and other settings. That's why these strings were actually hidden for a long time from the AMOS interface completely.
However, one bit where this will not work well, is the anchor part of the URL in the *_link string.
Yeah. For example, when I switch my UI language to Czech, the "Help and documentation" link for this particular page reads http://docs.moodle.org/402/cs/mod/forum/discuss - so it aims to find the 4.2 Czech wiki. And there are various redirect rules at the docs.moodle.org site that control where the user actually ends.
