      1. Enable "Mobile services": Plugins ► Web Services ► Mobile
      2. Go to Site administration ►Mobile app ►Mobile features
      3. Add some custom strings, like:

        mm.user.student|Learner|en
        mm.user.student|Aprendiz|es
        mm.user.student|Aprendiz|es_mx

      4. Create a WS Token for one standard user:
        • Click on Site administration ► Plugins ► Web services ► Manage tokens
      5. Next, you can do a CURL REST call simulating a WS client with the user.
        • You need to replace the wstoken, and the URL of your moodle instance

          curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_master/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'wsfunction=tool_mobile_get_config&wstoken=12a2a65aeea2a177055e233f9e303218&section=mobileapp' | python -m "json.tool"

      6. Check that you receive correctly the new customlangstrings
      7. Go to the mobile settings again, and remove all the customlangstrings
      8. Execute again the curl request and check that now you get an empty value for the customlangstrings

    Description

      We can add this new settings under Mobile app > Mobile features

      This will allow admins to customize the strings for the Mobile app as they can do with the Moodle strings (web version).

      This will be helpful for sites where they use a different terminology or for the Learn Moodle app that renames some options in the app (so we can avoid doing it modifying the app code)
