I'll take a look at the random glossary entry block and the glossary filter and iterate the patch.

get_string('concept','gformat_custom');

so that it would look in /mod/glossary/formats/custom/lang/en_utf8/gformat_custom.php for the string.

I had a quick look at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Places_to_search_for_lang_strings and I am not sure if gformat should be added to core or not as part of get_plugin_types in /lib/moodelib.php. My inclination is that it should for consistency purposes like question formats, course formats, etc. I will raise this as a separate issue since currently we do not have a nice way of plugging in custom glossary formats.

I think your idea of having individual lang files for each glossary format is consistent with what I know of the way Moodle adds extension points; my assumption with this patch is that glossary format authors would use the standard /lang/*/glossary.php file as is the current practice.

The two main reasons for this were:

1. keep the patch as simple as possible
2. since there is the idea of migrating the glossary to the database module, minimize the amount of investment.

If there is a preference to add format-specific lang files at this time, I could certainly look at what it would take to add this in.

Thanks,

Brian
