 * If you open moodle/lang/en/moodle.php and look near line 1031
 * you will find a string to prompt a user for their word for student
 * <code>
 * $string['wordforstudent'] = 'Your word for Student';
 * </code>
 * So if you want to display the string 'Your word for student'
 * in any language that supports it on your site
 * you just need to use the identifier 'wordforstudent'
 * <code>
 * $mystring = '<strong>'. get_string('wordforstudent') .'</strong>';
or
 * </code>
 * If the string you want is in another file you'd take a slightly
 * different approach. Looking in moodle/lang/en/calendar.php you find
 * around line 75:
 * <code>
 * $string['typecourse'] = 'Course event';
 * </code>
 * If you want to display the string "Course event" in any language
 * supported you would use the identifier 'typecourse' and the module 'calendar'
 * (because it is in the file calendar.php):
 * <code>
 * $mystring = '<h1>'. get_string('typecourse', 'calendar') .'</h1>';
 * </code>
 *
 * As a last resort, should the identifier fail to map to a string
 * the returned string will be [[ $identifier ]]
