Description

« Hide

At the moment, the get_string('fullname', 'moodle') is used for both course fullname (e.g. in course/edit_form.php) and for user fullname (e.g. admin/user/usert_bulk.php). This causes problems in languages where different words should be used for names of persons and for names of things.

There is a proposal to introduce new strings "coursefullname", "courseshortname" instead of current "fullname" and "shortname" and keep "fullname" (or even better new "userfullname") for user full name only.

m.i. It should be two new strings for backward compatability

Dongsheng, we need to add two strings coursefullname and userfullname in lang/en_utf8/moodle.php and carefully fix all the places where get_string('fullname') was used so that it's either get_string('coursefullname') or get_string('userfullname') as appropriate. Just in HEAD, thanks.

Actually fullnameuser and fullnamecourse would be better names (puts them next to each other for translators).

Please, is there any chance to backport this into MOODLE_19_STABLE? It is very difficult to find an translation of "fullname" in both user and course context. If this fix is intended for 2.0 only, I will have to live with messy language pack for the whole long 1.9 live cycle

Moreover, I would have to change the Moodle terminology now and then again in 2.0

See my last comment for the reopening reason. Feel free to assign this to myself if you agree with backporting this. TIA
