Description

If I have a lang file (i.e.: block_selfmade.php) in it_utf8_local folder ONLY, so, if I don't have block_selfmade.php into it_utf8 folder too,
ther is no Moodle GUI to change the content of block_selfmade.php strings.

I just wonder, if you make a block yourself, why would you want to change the language file in the local folder?
As far as I know, the language file should be in the lang folder of the block.

But yes, there is no gui to change the content.

I agree with Koen. Language files are NEVER expected to be in _local folder only. All _local folders are for local site modifications of standard packages. Closing this issue as it not a bug and such feature is not intended to be implemented.

Explanation:

If the plugin (module, block, ...) is part of standard distro, its languge pack is in dirroot/lang/en_utf8/ and moodledata/lang/lang_utf8/

If the plugin is your own add-on or other 3rd party stuff, its lang pack should be save in its own lang file, e.g.blocks/block_mynewblock/lang/en_utf8 and blocks/block_mynewblock/lang/lang_utf8. Fixed MDL-9361 will allow to edit such strings as well (give me some more time, I am working on it right now).

There is always something to learn. I totally ignored the it was supposed to save langs file in blocks/block_mynewblock/lang/en_utf8 and blocks/block_mynewblock/lang/lang_utf8. I always saved them in moodledata/lang/lang_utf8_local. Nice to know about the coming way to edit them too. Thank you for your time.
