Support for Simplified Chinese

[samumist]

Hi Luca
Thanks for this great tool.

I find tool is very inspiring in helping teachers coming up with great learning objectives.
The issue for us, is the same as @germanvaleroelizondo mentioned in another issue, that the simplified Chinese translation of the grid contents are missing.

I'd like to help with the translation. My email account is [email protected]

Thanks,
Sam

Dear Sam I’m flattered! With great pleasure I made you editor of the Spreadsheet document https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ctDYyemMlbbY0eH2Sc7EG4y9vGqSKqRsh-m3XFzD6Gw/edit#gid=0 Let me know if you need some help.

Dear @lucaboesch
Just a quick note to let you know that we have completed the simplified Chinese translation.
As the Chinese way of expression is sometimes a bit different from other languages, we might need to come back to this translation when we have the chance to review this translation in context, i.e. after you combine the translation with a new release of the plugin.

Thanks,
Sam

Thanks für your work, Sam!

I'm very curious to learn whether that works out.
You shoud be able to download the code https://github.com/lucaboesch/moodle-local_differentiator/archive/refs/heads/master.zip and then unpack it to your local/differentiator directory.
Are you managing your Moodle yourself, or do you have an own local development installation?
That could come in handy. Otherwise, I'll do a new release for you.

There were some strings missing for the user tour. There, I need both first columns filled. The first one is the popup title, the second one is the popup content. It would be great if you could look into this again.

Best,
Luca

Thanks very much, Luca!
Yes, I do have a local Moodle development installation to test this out.
I'll report back the result with some modifications to the translation, and fix the missing user tool title.

thanks,
Sam

Dear Luca,
I've tested the code locally and the translation showed up just as your screenshot above.

The concern I had for the different way of expression of the Chinese language is proved, nonetheless.
The output sentence in Chinese with the current structure of the Learning goals, is quite confusing. Though one can more or less guess the meaning of it, but it is not the proper way or normal way of expression.

To fix it for the Chinese language, we might need to adjust the learning goal sentence structure from:
Students will Thinking skill Content Subject using Resources and create Products in groups of Groups.

to something like:
Students will using Resources (to) Thinking skills Subjects('s) Content and create Products, in groups of Groups.

I'm not sure how this could be done as this would make the output of the original structure looks odd.

Thanks,
Sam

Dear Sam, it was unevitable that at some point in a language things like that would happen.
Let me check if I find a way to deal with that.
Best,
Luca
