Hi Tim,
sorry for late response. I add a screenshot.
OK. Now why is that a problem?
Actually, it is probalby more of a problem that we are concatenating the string, rather than using the 3rd argument of get_string.
Actually, why don't we just say:
Attempts allowed: Unlimited/1/2/3/4/...
Repeating the word attempts is rather redundant. Wow! that code has been there right from the start! http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/mod/quiz/mod.html?hideattic=0&revision=1.1&view=markup
Anyway, what do you suggest?
Ping! Still waiting for a suggestion of what you want me to do to fix this.
Hi Tim,
sorry for late reply.
Attempts allowed: Unlimited/1/2/3/4/...
This suggestion may work in the German translation. I can edit the translation in this way.
The term 'Unlimited' will appear as 'unlimited' with lower cases.
I think it is more a general aspect. Translated strings should be shown in the same way they are translated and not changed in any way. I don't know what the consequences in other languages could be.
Hi Tim,
the string attempts is not only used for the pulldownmenu. See screenshot. And in the menu is a combination of a number and the 'attempts' string used. If I delete the entry in the string it is missing at other places. I think we need a new string.
Where can I find the singular term of 'attempts'? Couldn't find it in quiz.php
Done. Thanks for your help Ralph.
thanks
Which menu? A screenshot or a URL would help.
